[Birdtalk] Help Identification?

[Marvis Collett]

Hello,

A couple of weeks ago I was on an island in French Polynesia and got  
a picture of a bird that I cannot identify.  The markings are so  
clear I can't understand why I can't find it in either my bird book  
of the South Seas nor in my Birds of Hawaii book.  There was a whole  
flock of them so I thought it must be a common bird.  I have put a  
picture on my site for you to look at if you would like to do that  
and help me with identification.  I would certainly appreciate any  
help.  It's driving me crazy!
