I have provisionally counted this as a Puff-backed Honeyeater based on the appaently slightly thicker bill. But almost identical Mimic Honeyeater was also seen in the area, so would appreciate some confirmation or correction. Thanks.

Thanks. I was afraid of that. Funny thing is I was just looking up your email hoping to get your opinion. Anyway, good to hear from you. Hope you are doing well.
