The white-gaped honeyeater (Stomiopera unicolor) is a species of bird in the family Meliphagidae. It is endemic to Australia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical mangrove forests.
The white-gaped honeyeater was previously placed in the genus Lichenostomus, but was moved to Stomiopera after a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2011 showed that the original genus was polyphyletic. Wikipedia →

Likely
About 60% of wildlife watchers report a White-gaped Honeyeater sighting in Nitmiluk National Park on a given day, based on 263 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 9th most-seen of the 103 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 90%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-gaped Honeyeater is recorded against all the birds logged in Nitmiluk National Park (263 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
