Bird ID help needed

["Philip Veerman" <>]

Yes from the slim build and longish notched tail, certainly fits that honeyeater group better than anything else. I can't do any better suggestion than Fuscous Honeyeater but there is not enough there to be sure.

I second David's likely ID of Fuscous Honeyeater.

Tail length and body angle all suggest Honeyeater to me.

Lack of facial marking is problematic for a good ID,, but it does suit the Fuscous HE.

Looks a bit like Fuscous Honeyeater from that rather indistinct picture.  Where was it seen?

Oops i thought i had! Here's the picture. Sorry about the quality. Despite appearances this bird didn't have a yellow facial mark.

We need more than this........... Did you intend to include a picture perhaps?

Hello can anyone please help with this ID? Finch sized, slender build, dark grey wings and back.

Thanks, Joanne
