Yes, I believe Margaret
Leggoe’s Silvereye is the southern Victorian/Tasmanian race going by the
grey plumage on its chin. The local race (which I think is Zosterops
lateralis whereas the southerners are designated Z. Familairis, hope
I got that right, find some of these scientific names change now and then.) We
used to agonise over trying to differentiate between the two going on flank
colour. Until one time the easier way of checking the chin colour jumped off
the pages of a field guide. Apparently local Silvereyes have yellow or citrine
chin feathers.
