Observation details

After consideration I think these birds were New Guinea White-eye of the Trans-fly ssp (wuroi) due to: elevation (basically sea level), large white eyering, clearly-defined yellow throat, no dark on forehead. Given the distribution and variation in this species, I find it hard to believe that this NG White-eye is truly a single species!
