Yellow-bellied Gerygone
Gerygone chrysogaster Gray, GR, 1858
Acanthizidae — Australasian Warblers
Yellow-bellied Gerygone, Gerygone chrysogaster, is a passerine of the Acanthizidae family found in New Guinea and its satellites. It lives in moist lowland forest across the region, including Aru Island, Yapen Island and West Papuan Island. The bird is also recorded from hill forest at Tabubil, though that movement is rare. It is a common species, but its numbers are said to be falling through New Guinea. Three subspecies are recognised: notata, neglecta and chrysogaster. George Robert Gray described the species in 1858.
