G'day Chris
I'm going to have a bit of a stab at ID-ing these small mangrove birds for you.
Going down the page on your blog, let's number them 1 to 5, with 5 being your
Dusky Gerygone, & 1 to 4 being your Q-marks.
I'm not sure if you can help by saying that the first 4 shots are of the same
individual birds, or are of more than one individual.
In answering this ID question for you, I have assumed they are all of different
individuals, but I have no way of knowing this for sure...
Pic 1 - juvenile Dusky Gerygone - whitish vent & undertail coverts. Eye colour
is unclear.
Pic 2 - looks like same bird as 1 to me - whitish chin & throat, whitish
undertail coverts. Eye colour unclear.
Pic 3 - juvenile Dusky G again - pale to mid-toned eye, as well as whitish
chin/throat & undertail coverts.
Pic 4 - looks a different individual to me. This bird appears yellow throated &
with dark eye. It's a juvenile Yellow White-eye, I think.
It would be very helpful if you can answer whether these are 4 pics of
different individuals...
Anyway, from the info I have, I've taken a stab at the ID's for you....
Cheers
