The Lewin's honeyeater (''Meliphaga lewinii'') is a bird that inhabits the ranges along the east coast of Australia. It has a semicircular ear patch, pale yellow in colour. The name of this bird commemorates the Australian artist John Lewin. ==Description==
The Lewin's honeyeater is small to medium in size (20 cm - 22 cm). It is dark greenish grey in colour, with a creamy yellow gape (fleshy corners of the mouth). It has large, yellowish crescent-shaped ear patches, which identify it from other honeyeaters other than similar but smaller species in tropical Queensland. In flight, the pale yellow edges of the flight feathers can be seen. The bill is black and the eye is blue-grey. Both sexes are similar in appearance. Young Lewin's honeyeaters are similar to the adults, but have brown eyes. The strong 'machine gun' like rattling notes of Lewin's honeyeater are heard over long distances and reveals its presence in an area. Size, voice, and the shape and size of the ear patch distinguish similar species found in tropical Queensland.
