Thanks for the challenge!! Gerygones that I have seen on Bribie in the past
include Brown, Mangrove, Fairy and White-throated. I have considered
juvenile and female Fairy Gerygone because of distribution, the white eye
ring and supraloral area. Tail worries me with this bird though. Terry
Bishop's guess at Western Gerygone could be correct. The tail on your bird
(although not well shown) appears to have a dark broad subterminal band and
white tip. White eye ring is also diagnostic as is the general colouring,
although photos can be a bit misleading.
The 2nd Atlas and Birdata show records for SEQ as being west of the range
but who knows where they can turn up.
So on the strength of the photo and I will go for juvenile Western Gerygone
even though it is east of its usual distribution.
Cheers
Roy
