| Species: | Brown-headed Honeyeater (Melithreptus brevirostris)| This Photo: | Adult, front | Thank you Ralph Foster, Tony and Jenny Dominelli, Jenny Donald & John Oliver for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Adelaide Hills and elsewhere A very small honeyeater. Travels in flocks. A small pale brown, almost mustard, bare skin ring around the eye makes it look bulging. Olive green back, and grey-white breast. A distinctive buff ring starts by the eye and travels around the back of the head. They are always active, never sitting still. If you can't get a camera, or bino's, on to them you'd easily mistake them for thornbills or silvereyes.
