Honeyeater help

I took this shot today, north of Port Maquarie. It was a Rainforest type of enviroment just of the beach with a billabong. My first thought when looking at it was a lewin's but after doing some searching to me looks more like a Yellow Spotted, but that would be well out of range.

Any thought's would be great.

Great photo - definitely helps smiley

Eye doesn't look bluish and ear patch isn't quite right for a Lewin's - but maybe a juvenile?

If you were in Nth Qld would definitely go with Spotted. Look forward to seeing others comments.

Definitely Baby Lewin's Honeyeater.
