FOund this bird in a local park of mine in Georgetown, Queensland. Is it a Brown Honeyeater, Rufous-throated honeyeater or something else all together?

Not  a Brown as there is too much yellow and the triangular patch behind the eye is missing. Very hard to tell juvenile Rufous-throated and Rufous-banded apart but most likely a juvenile Rufous-throated Honeyeater as no sign of a brown wash on chest unless you can see that in another picture. Hope that helps
