Media notes
Although the tail is unfortunately partially obscured in this pic, the uppertail pattern can be pieced together. The tail feathers have a whitish base, then a broad black band, white subterminal spots and finally brown tips. This pattern is unique among gerygones – in particular, Mangrove Gerygone doesn’t show pale bases to the uppertail feathers.
Observation details
Found by Elliot Leach earlier today. General impression similar to mangrove gerygone, but with a blood-red eye, strong black lores, white supercilium not extending beyond the eye, pale base to uppertail, and thick bold black band across middle of undertail, contrasting with clean broad white distal half of undertail feathers with small black tips. Singing intermittently, at -27.5127° S / 153.0840° E
