Banded honey eater?

Be gentle, first post. I am in the northern suburbs of Melb. I have identified many birds here, to my satisfaction, last one was a hawk owl. But! this guy looks like a banded honey eater and I cannot see how that can be. He has all the appearances of a pied honey eater, except his throat is full white. Help please.

Hi Papilio
Not from your part of Oz but a White-fronted Chat comes to mind.

Hi Owen1,

Firstly, welcome to the BiBy forum :) It's great to see someone else who's obviously interested in birds and IDs.
I hope you'll like it here, we're mostly a friendly lot...

Can I just suggest that you look at the dates of threads you are replying to? Posts that were sent a year or more ago are probably not looking for IDs on that bird still, and digging up lots of old posts is often considered poor form on internet forums.

Cheers
Tim
