Original HBW caption:

The two species of Ramsayornis are small, dumpy and short-tailed honeyeaters with a relatively short, slightly decurved bill. Both species are monotypic. The Brown-backed Honeyeater occurs in New Guinea and nearby islands, and in northeastern and eastern Australia. The species is rather drab in plumage, being mostly brown above and white below, but has a narrow white subocular stripe, bordered below by a thin brown moustachial stripe. As with almost all other meliphagids, the Brown-backed Honeyeater shows sexual dimorphism: males are larger than females, although the sexes are identical in plumage.
