The brown gerygone (Gerygone mouki), previously known as the brown warbler, is a small passerine bird native to eastern coastal Australia. The upper parts are olive-brown (or olive-grey for the nominate subspecies native to far-north Queensland), while its face and underparts are a much paler grey, cream, or washed-out brown. The tail feathers are dark and may be white-tipped. It is approximately 10 cm in length. The brown gerygone has a relatively large range. Although total population trends have not been quantified, it is considered of "least concern" by the IUCN. It may be sighted in coastal rainforest, singly or in small groups of two to four.
