Mangrove Gerygone

Gerygone levigaster Gould, 1843

Mangrove Gerygone, Gerygone levigaster, is a passerine of mangrove forests and nearby woodland in coastal southern New Guinea and northern and eastern Australia. It is an Australasian warbler with a breeding range across Australasia, and it is also known as the mangrove warbler. In the Kimberley, where its range meets that of the large-billed gerygone, it is found away from mangroves in paperbark and acacia scrub. It has grey upperparts, a white throat and underparts, a clear white eyebrow, and black bill and legs. Its song is sweet, rich and tuneful.
