Hi, I'm hoping someone can tell me what this bird is. I was watching the usual spinebills frolic about when these birds (I think there were abut 4 of them) arrived. I am pretty sure they are some sort of honeyeater. They are basically fairly small but plump, olive on the back, creamy white underneath, with a black head and a red spot on or around the eye.
This is in Olinda, Vic.
White-naped Honeyeater.
Hard to tell exactly with images being so small but probably White-naped HE. Was the eyebrow red?

I would say that is a White-naped Honeyeater, but happy to be corrected.
