About Ptilotula plumula (Gould, 1841)
The grey-fronted honeyeater (Ptilotula plumula) is a small, plain honeyeater species. It has a yellow neck plume that is bordered above by black, and a small grey patch on its forehead; this grey patch may be hard to see in northern subspecies. Its crown is olive yellow, and its lores are blackish. Its upper body is olive grey, and its flight feathers are yellow olive. Its underparts are off white with faint, indistinct stripes. This species is easily confused with the yellow-tinted honeyeater, because the two share overlapping ranges and are similar in size. The two can be distinguished by their features: yellow-tinted honeyeaters have yellow grey lores and narrower plumes than the grey-fronted honeyeater.
