Fairy Gerygone

Gerygone palpebrosa

Description:

A tiny bird, around 10 cm. I'm unsure if this a White-throated Gerygone (Gerygone olivacea), or a Fairy Gerygone (Gerygone palpebrosa). They're both so similar. Would appreciate any help :)

Habitat:

Found in open coastal woodland, lots of Paperbark trees. Mangrove nearby.

Notes:

Dunrock

Sweet little bird Leanne. Great photos.

I've suggested the Fairy Gerygone because it has a white eye ring around an adult red eye.
