I was guessing this bird is a Macleay's Honeyeater but I´n not sure. The pattern around the eye don´t seem right. Anyone knows for sure?? I saw it north of Cairns.
Thankd to Phil for helping out. This seems to be a juvenile, that´s why I was confused.

ReplyDeleteSorry, I have no experience of Australian Honeyeaters but I googled some photos of Macleay's Honeyeater and it mostly fits. According to the photos it should have a darker crown and as you suggest a more pronounced eye ring. I think it may be a juvenile bird if this is your breeding season for honeyeaters. Here's link to a photo which resembles your own.
