Hi Martin
White-throated Honeyeater. An absolute favourite bird of mine, that comes
down to plunge into water here every day, while other birds bathe in more
genteel fashion.
Pale to white crescent over the eye.
Note the black from the cap reaches the beak at the gape only and does not
extend to the lower mandible or below.
All the best
Bill Jolly

Subject: [Birding-Aus] Help identify this Melithreptus honeyeater please
Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2007 23:14:20 +1000
Hi all, once again I need to use your talents to identify this Melithreptus
honeyeater (White-naped? or White-throated?) that was attacking a
competitor in my car mirror.
We live in Ingham (between Townsville and Cairns. I am a little confounded
by its eyebrow colouration(not really bluish or greenish).
Any help and reasons would be gratefully accepted.
