Saw this little guy, or girl, over the back fence just now and was wondering if someone could ID it please.

I would guess it's some kind of thornbill.
Where are you?

I was thinking the same thing as Soakes.

looks like a robin
I agree, a Juvi but not sure which one. Does not look like a Thornbill.

Whoops! Sorry, I'm not too familiar with robins. :-(

I always get them mixed up when they don't show their colours :)

Could be junior thornbill now that I think about it. The parents have been in my backyard tree for quiet a while. Thanks for the help everyone.

Rob - please read Zosterops and Shorty's comments - it is a robin not a thornbill - please advise suburb/city where pic taken and we may be able to make an educated guess on robin sp

My first impression was a juv robin too, doesn't look quite right for a thornbill.

I'd say a juvenile robin of some sort.
Robin seems to be the most popular. I'll go with that.
Here is another shot of the same bird. Albury Southern NSW is the location.

Nice one of the juvi Robin. :-D

I'll stick my neck out & say that's a juvenile Scarlet Robin.
Thanks Woko. They are easy to get close to which is good for someone who has a 200mm lens;)
