Grey-fronted honeyeater

The grey-fronted honeyeater (Ptilotula plumula) is a species of bird in the family Meliphagidae. It is endemic to Australia. Its natural habitat is Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation. The grey-fronted honeyeater was originally described in 1841 by English ornithologist John Gould, as Lichenostomus plumulus. It was moved to the genus Ptilotula after a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2011 showed that Lichenostomus was polyphyletic.
