Taken on trip from Cairns to Karumba

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Between Cairns and Karumba on a trip with Chook Crawford.

Thanks Lorne.  I thought maybe a cropped photo might help.

Maybe an Australian Reed Warbler, the crop helps immensely, but as always, am happy to be wrong. Lorne pointed me in that direction, but I really just guessing.

I'm struggling with this one. None of the thornbills seem to fit. Or geygones. Lorne

It reminds me of a Mangrove Gerygone but cannot tell eye colour on this picture. Can you lighten your original further and see if eye has reddish tint? Any memory of size or location? Looks like mangroves. I realise that it is all much harder after time passes but check your pictures in case you caught some other aspect of this bird.

Attaching a picture of a Mangrove Gerygone for comparison. What do you think?
