Gerygone albofrontata (Chatham Gerygone)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Chatham gerygone or Chatham Island warbler (Gerygone albofrontata) is a species of bird in the Acanthizidae family. It is endemic to the Chatham Islands and thus not found on the mainland, where its relative, the endemic grey warbler (Gerygone igata), is found. The Chatham Island warbler is larger and sports different plumage for the male, female and juvenile birds. Both warblers were discovered and named by G. R. Gray in 1845. The grey and Chatham Island warblers are the only two members of the Australasian family Acanthizidae found in New Zealand.
