Blurry Bird

The last couple of weeks I have seen this little guy feeding in the grevilleas hanging around the Eastern Spinebills but I can never get a real good look or photograph of him (very nervous bird). He is about the same size as the Eastern Spinebill.

I know the photos are really blurry (and I am fairly sure that they are of the same bird) but the markings stand out. If anyone could give any suggestions I would be grateful.

Thanks, Jackie

Looks like a yellow-faced honeyeater.

I got a little excited for a moment. I thought it was a singing honeyeater and I've never seen one of those, but I have to agree with Greg.

See it!  Hear it!

Thanks for the input Greg & nightowl. I thought that the black line would be below the beak? not inline with it?? and that the yellow would meet the beak not be above it? I know it is hard to tell from my crappy pics.

Cheers, Jackie.
