Gerygone olivacea Gould, 1838

The White-throated Gerygone is a very small grey brown bird with a white throat and spot on forehead, distinctive bright yellow underparts and a white-tipped tail. It has a red eye. Most often heard during breeding season, it is not obvious at other times. Similar species: The Fairy Gerygone, G. palpebrosa differs from the White-throated Gerygone in that it does not have the white tail tips, and some males have a black chin and/or throat. It also only overlaps in the Queensland part of the White-throated Gerygone's range, from Tropic of Capricorn to northern Cape York. The smaller Weebill, Smicrornis brevirostris, can resemble young White-throated Gerygones, but does not have a red eye, lacks the white throat and forehead and is generally paler above, with a shorter, paler bill.
