Chatham Islands Gerygone
Gerygone albofrontata Gray, GR, 1845
Acanthizidae — Australasian Warblers
Chatham Islands Gerygone, Gerygone albofrontata, is a passerine of the Chatham Islands east of New Zealand’s South Island, where it lives in temperate forest. It was named by G. R. Gray in 1845. This bird is closely linked to the grey warbler of mainland New Zealand, but it is larger and shows different plumage. It is one of only two Acanthizidae found in New Zealand. The species occurs on the main Chatham Island and on nearby islands including Pitt, Little Mangere, Star Keys and Rangatira.
