Identification
A fairly small honeyeater of mid-montane forest canopy. Slender bill, small yellow ear spot and slightly mottled underparts. Usually the only species of this group present, although overlaps slightly at the lower end of its altitudinal range with Mimic, Spot-breasted and Yellow-gaped, but Mountain is smaller with a smaller ear spot. It has less mottling than Spot-breasted but more than the others. Voice, a single whistle “piiiii!” and a “chup!”.
