Papuan species? (1 Viewer)

[Tom Tarrant]

Mehd Halaouate has just sent me numerous images for the ABID taken in Papua, (west of Jayapura) recently.
Most are of species that are rarely photographed. (see http://www.aviceda.org/abid/newimages.php)

He has identified most but there are three outstanding, one looks like a honeyeater, another a friarbird and the last could be an oriole (....but could be a honeyeater!)

Possible Honeyeater (http://www.aviceda.org/abid/birdimages.php?action=birdspecies&fid=63&bid=1561)
Possible Friarbird (http://www.aviceda.org/abid/birdimages.php?action=birdspecies&fid=63&bid=1562)
Possible Oriole (http://www.aviceda.org/abid/birdimages.php?action=birdspecies&fid=69&bid=1564)

Unfortunately I've had to disable the comments section on the ABID, but if you have any thoughts could you email this address.

1) Tawny-breasted Honeyeater.
2) erhm... Meliphagidae is the right family, though.
3) Little Shrike-thrush (?). Not an oriole.

Surely not the Alan Lewis of Morris,Buckton and Higgs fame? (26 Warmington St, Paddington Brisbane 1991)
