The Banded Honeyeater (*Cissomela pectoralis*) is a small, black-and-white bird native to the tropical woodlands of northern Australia. It is easily recognised by its bold black breast band set against white underparts, and its contrasting black cap and back. This species is a regular sight in the canopy of northern eucalypt forests and paperbark swamps.
