I recon ur right reflex.

I thought White-Naped Honeyeater at first but looking at it closer up, the nape nearly touches the eye and the cresent is white not red like the  WN Honeyeater.

So I agree White-Throated Honeyeater.

I'll 2nd White-throated Honeyeater.  It has a totally white throat!  On White-naped, the back cap goes just below the bill so that they have a liitle bit of black on the chin(throat).

Thanks everyone. I was rather hoping it was a White-naped Honeyeater, but the lack of red around the eye was dissapointing, so no new ticks for me this week-end.
