Brown-backed Honeyeater

Brown-backed Honeyeater

These young Brown-backed Honeyeaters gave this southerner quite a puzzle for a while: they seemed to have barring on the chest like a Bar-breasted Honeyeater, yet they were clearly not that species. Most of the field guides only show adult Brown-backed, which are not obviously the same bird.
