Can someone identify this little bird please? I saw it on a bush walk through the Warriewood Wetlands but cannot find any with the dark face in my books.

Do you have more shots? Side on showing head/bill profile could be useful. It's interesting and I am not quite sure just yet.
Unfortunately no other photos as it flew off.
Easily a Brown Gerygone. Those little white crescents around the eye are tell tale.
There are heaps around Sydney much to my dismay as I have never seen one
Cheers, Owen.
According to a local bird watcher, the Brown Gerygones around Warriewood Wetlands often have the blackish face. They are nesting in the area now but I could not catch the bird at the nest with my camera as it was just too fast. Apologies that my side-on view of the bird is a bit blurred for the same reason.
Yes good call , I had no idea. Didn't even bother look at a book , never see any thing like that.
See it! Hear it!

We also saw these little black-faced birds at Warriewood Wetlands. (see my post for more pics Tue, 28/08/2012) Still wondering if they are Gerygones.

Hi Diann, you posted your e-mail address, is that a mistake? If so, I'd delete it.
