The Black-headed Honeyeater is a small, energetic honeyeater endemic to Tasmania, Australia, with a glossy black head, white nape band, and olive-brown upperparts. It inhabits dry and wet sclerophyll forests and woodlands, especially those dominated by eucalypts. It feeds on nectar, insects, and honeydew from lerp psyllids, often foraging in the outer foliage of eucalyptus trees.
