Is this another Honeyeater ?

I took some pictures of this bird high up in a tall tree at Brisbane QLD this morning. Some distinct markings of yellow patch near tail and pattern under throat. Is this a member of honeyeater group ?

Hello, no this is not a HE, the tail is the giveaway, it is a fantail, I am sure that you will want to look it up to determine the actual species

Hi Peter,

I found Rufous Fantail with similar markings : fan tail, orange feathers near tail and white breat crossed by band of blackish spots.
