Yellow-throated Honeyeater
Nesoptilotis flavicollis (Vieillot, 1817)
Meliphagidae — Honeyeaters
Yellow-throated Honeyeater, Nesoptilotis flavicollis, is a honeyeater of Tasmania and the Bass Strait islands in Australasia. It is a passerine in the family Meliphagidae, and it was first described by Vieillot in 1817. The bird is closely linked to the white-eared honeyeater, which it resembles in both form and habits. It is found across mainland Tasmania, King Island and the Furneaux Group, and it uses forests, woodland, coastal scrub and heath, as well as parks, gardens and orchards. It was once regarded as an orchard pest.
