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 smiley](https://www.birdsinbackyards.net/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png)
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.

Yes, young Lewin's Honeyeater.

Thanks, all. I suspected juvi, but lived in hope of a new tick![laugh laugh](https://www.birdsinbackyards.net/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png)
