Grey Gerygone
Gerygone igata
The grey warbler has a long tail that is darker than its grey-brown body, with white tail end markings as well as a white tail underside. There is little sexual dimorphism between males and females, aside from females usually being smaller than males. Warblers are especially small; weighing around 6.5g with an average length of only around 10cm. Adults have a signature ruby red eye, while juveniles have a brown eye, as well as yellowish feathers around the face and underbody. Voice: The male's song often starts with a series of three squeaks and builds into a distinctive long plaintive wavering trill that rises and falls. Only the male warblers sing year-round, to attract mates and defend territory. Male songs are particularly loud during summer and spring, which lines up with the warblers breeding season.

Weebills have inconspicuously coloured plumage ranging from yellowish-grey (front) to olive-brownish-grey (back). The two main feather pigments involved in this variation are yellow (phaeomelanin) and olive-brown (eumelanin). There is geographical variation in plumage across the four subspecies. Adults have pale yellow eyes and a faint cream coloured supercilium.
