Lewin's honeyeater (Meliphaga lewinii)

Although not uncommon, the Lewin's honeyeater is usually seen amongst dense shrubbery or tall trees while feeding. Rather noisy due to poor light, but I was pleased to get a clear shot which I haven't previously managed of this species.

Quite the intense look it's giving you, as in "WHAT are you doing snooping on me?!?"
