French: Gérygone de Nouvelle-Zélande

Other common names: Grey (Gerygone) Warbler, New Zealand (Grey) Gerygone/Fairy-warbler
Taxonomy: Curruca igata Quoy and Gaimard, 1830, Tasman Bay, Cook Strait, New Zealand.
Forms a superspecies with G. mouki, possibly including also G. albofrontata and, perhaps, G. modesta. With exception of G. albofrontata, these were once considered (together with the extinct Lord Howe I species G. insularis) to be conspecific, but they differ significantly in plumage and song. Monotypic.
