White-lined Honeyeater (species: Meliphaga (Meliphaga) albilineata)
The Kimberley Honeyeater is similar in appearance to the White-lined Honeyeater, having dark grey upperparts, light grey underparts, grey eyes, with dark grey below the eyes and a black beak. It is distinguished from the White-lined Honeyeater by the lack of citrine edging on the upper surface of the remiges and retrices, pale creamy-buff under-wing coverts, and a milky-white belly (Wikipedia).
