Black-headed honeyeater

The black-headed honeyeater (''Melithreptus affinis'') is a species of bird in the family Meliphagidae.
It is one of two members of the genus ''Melithreptus'' endemic to Tasmania. Its natural habitats are temperate forests and Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation. Despite its name, the black-headed honeyeater eats predominantly insects.
==Taxonomy==
The black-headed honeyeater was described in 1839 as ''Eidopsarus affinis''. John Gould described it as ''Melithreptus melanocephalus'' in 1844, likely unaware of its earlier name.
Molecular studies show the black-headed honeyeater is most closely related to the white-naped honeyeater, and that their next closest relative is the Swan River honeyeater. All are members of the genus ''Melithreptus'' with several species, of similar size and (apart from the brown-headed honeyeater) black-headed appearance, in the honeyeater family Meliphagidae. The next closest relative outside the genus is the much larger but similarly marked blue-faced honeyeater. More recently, DNA analysis has shown honeyeaters to be related to the Pardalotidae (pardalotes), Acanthizidae (Australian warblers, scrubwrens, thornbills, etc.), and the Maluridae (Australian fairywrens) in a large Meliphagoidea superfamily.
