Roy has sent me his photos. It appears to be the familiar hybrid.

Subject: FW: [canberrabirds] White-cheeked honeyeater update at Jerrabomberra wetlands
I have seen the hybrid a couple of times this year and Shorty sent me a pic only yesterday. It is in tail moult, showing a mix of old and worn feathers. So
far as I know the original WCH has not been seen for more than a year. It will be of great interest to have any reports of the second generation hybrids, which could show features intermediate between the hybrid and a New Holland

Hi everyone, for interest sake I photographed the White-cheeked Honeyeater at JW on 23 April 2017 in its frequent position above the bridge.
Due to a possible lack of reporting on ebird etc myself and a few others were wondering how much its been seen in recent times?
