Not long ago I identified White-plumed Honeyeaters for the first time, and
mentioned here that I thought the white line on the side of their heads was
much harder to see than in the pictures in the guides. But now that I've seen
it a few times, I swear I can see it even without binoculars. Possibly the
same kind of phenomenon?

Anyway, it must have been a reasonably rare bird because not long after the
field guide was published, people vetting various reported sightings started
to see the red spot on the tail mentioned by observers claiming the bird.
When queried about this the observers were adamant they had seen the
diagnostic red spot.
