Honeyeater?

Photographed near Toowoomba in Queensland. Only saw in passing. Any ideas?

Looks like a Yellow Honeyeater.

Toowoomba, is a long way out of range, but one was recently photograhed on Bribie Island.

it could be Yellow-tufted Honeyeater, race cassidix, whose range extends into Qld

the pic of the head is not good enough to exclude

I heard about the Bribie Is sighting of Yellow HE but did not see the pic

2 pics of Yellow Honeyeater attached for discussion

Yes, I have seen a number of Yellow-tufted and don't think it was one of those. It was on a small reserve near Pittsworth so maybe in a few months I'll get back up there. It does bear similarities to the pictures you have includes. Thanks to both of you, will wait and see if further comments
