Thanks for sending that link. Just a correction though (to stop it going forward). It is Regent Honeyeater (there is no apostrophe s), as it (and the bowerbird) is believe named for the colour resemblance to the prince regent, not as possessive of someone named Regent. The book by Fraser & Gray has a lot about that connection.
