Dark melidectes

Melionyx is a genus of bird in the family Meliphagidae.

These species were formerly placed in the genus Melidectes. They were moved to the resurrected genus Melionyx  based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2019. At the same time the common names were changed from "melidectes" to "honeyeater".
