” Cryptic” is a sexy name, (with Herpetological overtones), but is the bird actually or unusually that much more camouflaged or difficult to see than other Honeyeaters? Is it generally so different to look at or listen to that a new name is really necessary ? (With apologies to armchair twitchers, of which I am now one, having seen the bird but not appreciated its uniqueness)
