Spinifex Pigeon, Finke Gorge NP, NT.
A mystery bird :), haven't identified this one yet.
Taken near Halls Creek WA last August. It was having a party with Yellow Throated Miners, Yellow Plumed Honeyeaters and Little Friar Birds in a Bauhinia Tree otherwise known as a Warralong Tree.

Nice pic.
Got any more shots of it?
Maybe a Rufous throated Honeyeater.
Very difficult to ID them at times,there are so many honeyeaters that look similar.
Sometimes another pic from a different angle and in different light helps.
No other photo's, this was a one off 'snapshot'. Not bad considering.
I reckon you're on the money even though it was ignoring the trees nectar and gnawing on a bug. I considered and discarded the Rufous Throated Honeyeater because of the lack of rufous throat and face colouring but looking at images on Google Images these attributes can be absent, thanks for the ID :)

This might help you young Deano in your ornithology quest, an adult brown honey eater like without the yellow eye shadow https://ebird.org/australia/species/brohon1/L1120595Quote:

This fine pair have taken up residence and take it in turns sitting on an egg laid in the middle of the driveway to the other house so driveway out of action for about another 20 days[smilebigeye]
