Graceful honeyeaters are one of three very similar honeyeater species found in forested areas in eastern Australia; the others are Lewin's honeyeater and the yellow-spotted honeyeater.   They differ in minor plumage details but are best told apart by their very different calls.   This one was photographed in Kingfisher Park near Julatten, far north Queensland.
