Mielero Barbirrojo Myzomela eques

A fairly small honeyeater of lowland and foothill forest and edge. Uniform dark brown with red throat stripe, slightly larger in the male. Often seen in the canopy of flowering trees. Somewhat similar to Red and Papuan Black Myzomela females, but Ruby-throated is larger and lacks the red forehead. Very similar to Dusky Myzomela but Ruby-throated has the red throat stripe.
