Fernwrens

[Sue & Phil Gregory <>]

A query please- if you look in our various field guides they show a  
female plumaged Fernwren, Yet HANZAB states the sexes are the same  
and the rest is just individual variation.
I certainly see Fernwrens where one bird is well marked and the other  
like a duller version with a less marked supercilium and smaller  
black chest crescent, which I would assume to be the female.  What do  
others observers think? Maybe the HANZAB museum sample was just very  
small and there really is a female plumage?
Thanks
Phil Gregory
