I'd left a reply to your question - According to Birds in Backyards factsheet [People often confuse miners with the introduced Common Myna. The Common Myna is quite different in plumage (mostly dark brown) and,although it has similar facial markings, belongs to the starling family, while the miners are honeyeaters."
