If you're looking for Victoria's bird emblem, you won't find it in Museum Victoria's Field Guide to Victorian Fauna app.
This is our best picture of a Helmeted Honeyeater. Do you have a better one?

The app contains over 700 Victorian species, but the Helmeted Honeyeater isn't one of them. Why not? We don't have a picture of one.
Museum Victoria is almost ready to launch the MV Field Guide app on the Android network – we just need a few final images. Can you help?
If you have a photograph of any of the species below, send it to discoverycentre@museum.vic.gov.au. If we like it, we'll give you a double pass for our museums and a $30 gift voucher for our museum shops. You'll also be credited as the image's photographer (and get your name in the MV Field Guide app).
- Helmeted Honeyeater Lichenostomus melanops cassidix
- Diamond Firetail Stagonopleura guttata
- Plains Wanderer Pedionomus torquatus
- Little Eagle Hieraaetus morphnoides
Haven't got the MV Field Guide app? Download it for free from the App Store. Android users, stay tuned – it's coming soon!
UPDATE: The Android version is now available from Google Play. Hooray!
