4 sections
The White-cheeked Honeyeater (*Phylidonyris niger*) is a medium-sized, boldly patterned bird found along the eastern and southwestern coasts of Australia. This species is easily recognised by its contrasting black and white plumage, large white cheek patches, and bright yellow panels on the wings and tail. Its energetic presence and distinctive calls make it a familiar sight in banksia-rich heathlands and woodlands.
