Hi Bruce,
Whilst several members of Gerygone have very
similar calls, the Brown Gerygone sounds not even remotely similar to the White-throated Gerygone. If you think you heard a White-throated Gerygone, well then you probably did. So the
substance of your question falls down. The Western and Mangrove Gerygones sound
similar, so consider those possibilities if they occur there, but not
the Brown Gerygone.

White-throated Gerygonies.
Hi All
This is a call to some of our north side Sydney
birdos or possibly Alan Morris or Lauris Hopkins if she is still out there
somewhere.Yesterday I was doing some birding around Warriwood wetland on the
north side of Sydney harbour when I heard what I was sure was a
White-throated Gerygone calling , it only called once but it had that
distinctive falling leaf call, I looked for the bird without any luck and
after a while became unsure as there are Brown Warblers in the area and
I have never recorded a WTG in this area, or in fact this close to the coast
anywhere in Sydney. Heaps out west but none around my way!---Anyone like to
offer a comment?
