There were many Yellow-rumps on the island this morning and some appeared to have yellowish throats. Plumage is not yet full breeding so may be hard to tell.

Thank you.

With the yellow spreading onto the lores, around the eyes and up the forehead I would suggest that it would be hard, on these images, to rule out pollen as the cause of the yellow colouration.
 
Thank you all. The birds certainly had been in the Bottlebrush much of the time we were there so possibly picking up pollen there.
