I saw this bird today on the bank of the Murray River at Berri in South Australia. Can anyone help with identifying it please?

A juvenile perhaps? It looks so unlike any thing in my books or bird app.
Here's another shot.
It looks like it might be all puffed up, when they puff out all their feathers they can take on quite a different appearance!
Yes it is a Juvenile White-plumed Honeyeater, the pink colour on the bill goes black when they get older.
Thank you all. Such a cutie!
Another reason it is a young one is that adults have more yellow on the face, and I get the impression that the yellow becomes a slightly darker/duller shade
