Agree with Mark that it is clearly an adult Brown-headed Honeyeater.

Based on observations and banding records from my banding site at Wee Jasper, BHHE is a reasonably common sedentary resident in the area (while I have never recorded Black-chinned Honeyeater there).

Thanks to Martin for bringing this “record” to our notice. Having looked at the photograph in the blog it is obvious the bird is an adult Brown-headed Honeyeater and not a juvenile Black-chinned Honeyeater. Martin’s initial reaction was also Brown-headed Honeyeater. Any of the other banders care to comment?
