Species notes
Overview
Underparts white, upperparts light olive. Has white throat with a white band behind the eye. Very similar in appearance to White-throated and Black-chinned Honeyeaters but can easily be distinguished by presence of red skin around the eye. Juveniles have more brown coloration and a yellow bill.
