An immature honeyeater of some sort?

Once again, am appealing to anyone able to identify this bird.  I think it must be an immature, but don't know for sure.  The beak was very distinct, and the back was slightly olive green.  There were several seemingly in a group, feeding on thrips or the like in our eucalypts.  We are in Torquay, Victoria.

a young Brown-headed Honeyeater - you can see the white crescent extending from the eye ring around back of head; the yellow beak is because it is young

Yes!  Thanks pacman.  That was my thought but didn't know that the young had yellow beaks.  Thanks again.
