help needed

This one has me stumped. To get a better shot would have meant getting too close. Can anyone help? Capertee Valley NSW.

Could it be a Striped Honeyeater?

Yep, I reckon thats it! The nest and beak are a perfect match. Its funny, the Striped Honeyeater has been one of those (apparently) relatively common birds that has eluded me for so long, and this means Ive seen and photographed 3 of them in as many weeks..
