Gerygone? and Ibis?

2 fairy dodgy photos sorry, Have I finally taken a Gerygone? Seemed a fair bit bigger than a thornbill.

I am hopeless at identifying waterbirds, I can't find any Ibis that has black head, black wings and a white body. Am I on the wrong track?

The ibis could be a Straw-necked Ibis. Not sure about the first one though.

Thanks for that, I have only one shot of this bird, it was in my backyard on a waratah. Looked a bit like a buff-rumped thornbill (see image below from www.ozanimals.com).

I can't find reference to this bird in BIB website. Is it called something else?
