I took some photo's of a pair of Brown Gerygone's nesting, in Sydney NSW.

The dark colour on their chest was very noticeable - it is the first time I
have seen this plumage on a Gerygone.

The chest was almost black. The feathers did not look wet to me, so I don't
think that they had been bathing.

Can anyone enlighten me as to whether this is breeding plumage or just a
darker variation of normal plumage?

 

The photos can be seen at :
