ID of small bird in Victoria please

Seen in Selby, Vic (Dandenong Ranges) in our Feijoa tree. Never seen one of these before and can't find it on the bird finder. Quite a small bird. Was hanging around with red-browed finches and silver eyes. Hoping someone can help please.

Looks like a brown-headed Honeyeater, kathiemt.

Brown Honeyeater for me too, they are very sweet little birds and can be very photogenic :)

Thank you. Never have seen one before but I'm constantly watching the bird life here at home and building a list of what's been seen here and when, etc.

Hi Kath, I'm in Olinda and I haven't seen a brown-headed honeyeater either, although I'm sure they are around.  Nice work seeing this one :)

I have a new lens :-)  Nikkor 200-500mm so now I can see up closer than before and I expect I might start seeing a few things I've not noticed before.
