Spotted honeyeater Xanthotis polygrammus

A medium-sized, unique-looking honeyeater of foothill and lower montane forest canopy, and also southern New Guinea savanna. Brown back with small white spots, white underparts with large dark flecks on the belly and dark streaks on the chest. White throat and large area of bare pink facial skin around the eye, wider at the back and a yellow ear patch. Patterning of the underparts and the pink eye-ring distinguish it from other species. Gives a musical repeated, upslurred “wudee”.
