Identify this melon

I bought this melon in the vegetable shop and thought to collect the seeds but I do wonder what it is!

They are called Santa Claus Melons here... I found them to just be "meh" in flavor, but it was grocery store purchased and not home grown.

So awesome, thanks :)

It isn't great in flavour but apparently if you let it sit it improves. I shall try that. While I bought it, it probably came from a garden because this green grocer often sells things that they don't get from the market.

The birds like it ;)
