Thanks Con, I assume that ACT conservation status is implied under NSW status on that site?

Annoyingly, the honeyeater only hung around my neighbour's street tree, a dying diseased Brittle Gum ... why not come to my yard where I have healthy street trees that I look after!

Hi Nathanial
Sounds like a White-plumed, allright. The Birdlife Australia Photography site usually has good images for every Australian species.

As if being treated to a rare visit from a few Spotted pardalotes I also have another slightly larger bird that I think might be a white-plumed honeyeater but hard to tell ... greenish bird with a distinctive, thin consistent-width white strip on the side of its neck below and behind the eye.
