G'day Margaret

I managed to snap a Western Gerygone at Campbell Park some time ago -
unmistakably identified by its distinctive call. A couple of features
that stood out were the red eye and the band across the end of the tail -
though I guess this may not be common to each sex or at all stages of
maturity.

Your pictures show a red eye, but the tail markings are not obvious.
Maybe the only show when the tail is fanned out. Hopefully other members
will be able to provide further guidance.

Regards ... Robin
