Field Guide
Brown-headed Honeyeater
4 sections
The Brown-headed Honeyeater is a small, energetic Australian bird recognised by its plain brown head and subtle, olive-green upperparts. Its pale, creamy-yellow eye-ring and buff crescent across the nape provide a unique facial pattern. This species is often seen foraging in the treetops and is more often heard than seen, thanks to its soft, chattering calls.
