Lewin's Honeyeater. (J). Meliphaga lewinii.
Taken at Sandy Camp Rd Wetlands Reserve, Lytton, Queensland.
The pronounced yellow plumage extending below the chin is suggesting this might be a juvenile (though the blue eye contradicts this). A possible alternative might be a Mangrove honeyeater, though they usually have a more marked black eye stripe extending back toward the nape. This was taken in an area where the two species overlap.
Any help appreciated?
