Post Central Aus bird has me stumped
G'day all, my first post and already i am asking for help!

I took this shot at Stuarts Well (a Roadhouse about 90kms south of Alice Springs) in mid June this year.

The White Plumed honeyeater was quite interested in the mirror for a good 5 minutes and was able to get a fair few shots of it and it wasn't to bothered by me clicking away. then along comes this other little fella and i am stumped! I can't figure out what it is. Any ideas??

Yep, both are White-plumed, the bottom left bird is a young one, note the pinkish bill
