Yep, Brown Honeyeater, probably a male as the males are slighly darker about the head. Cattai Wetlands is fantastic, one of my local spots. Did you get a few new birds there? Not unusual to get 50 or 60 species in a single visit...

Only new one's were Tawny Grassbird and Brown Honeyeater but it was nice to get Comb Crested Jacana, Southern Emu-wren and Grey Goshawk during my visit.
I think Brown Honeyeater.
I hope you are right as that would be a new one for me. Perhaps the shadow is making the head look darker? Shame i could not get a better shot :(
