Yes I too would be confident it is a juv White-throated Gerygone.
I wasn't there to see who it was with, but based on the photo, I wouldn't have
thought of it being a Yellow Thornbill as first option. As for invoking a
possibility of being a juvenile Western Gerygone, well it would
really surprise me (also) for one of them to be that yellow. Besides I think it
can't be that, as it doesn't show the white panel in the middle and base of the
tail, to match Western Gerygone.

[canberrabirds] Confusing juvenile.
I need some help from those more expert than I.
Today I photographed an obviously juvenile bird which I initially thought
was a Yellow Thornbill (click on the link below), but the more I look at it the
less convinced I am. I think it may be a juvvy White-throated Gerygone. Any
ideas?
