Yellow-spotted Honeyeater (Meliphaga notata) at Jourama Falls (25km south of Ingham) last week. Strong yellow gape streak pointing to mid-earmark is diagnostic in distinguishing from slightly smaller Graceful HE (weaker, paler streak points to bottom of earmark). Both species can give similar 'tuck' calls. Click pix to enlarge

So that's how you tell them apart. Next time I'm on the coast, I'll have to try this out.
And pray the birds come close!
