Melithreptus albogularis
These Honeyeaters have "olive-green above and white below, with a black head, a white or pale blue patch over the eye, and a white stripe across the nape." (https://ebird.org/species/whthon1?siteLa... )
These two appeared to be stripping the bark of this stump and swallowing it. Plenty of company from Double-barred Finches (Taeniopygia bichenovii), Long-tailed Finches (Poephila acuticauda acuticauda), Peaceful Doves (Geopelia striata placida), a couple of Great Bowerbirds (Chlamydera nuchalis), and a bunch of other bird species in the garden at Goombaragin on the Dampier Peninsula.
