I always thought this little one was a New Holland Honeyeater but I was wrong. They are very similar but this one has a longer beak, a large white sash under it's eye and a brown eye. A honeyeater has a very distinctive white eye and no white sash.
Is there anybody out there who may shed some light on this for me?

White Cheeked Honeyeater I think.

Nice with the splash of yellow on the side and in his king of the castle pose.

Thanks Greg, and P Plates. I could not see these guys in Birds in Backyards so I hoped you'd know. I have asked BIB if they want a photo for their site, still waiting.
