Adult Blue-faced Honeyeaters never lose their blue faces once they acquire 
them.  I had a bird in 
the hand on the species published in the journal Corella some years back in 
which I describe and 
illustrate the colour changes.  If anyone is interested in looking it up I can 
provide the reference 
when I return home on Tuesday night.  Contact me off-list if interested.
