In reference to your post on the chatline, here is a pic i took of a young Scarlet at Jerra Wetlands back in 2013. Exclude the bright red chest as it is over processed but note the lack of white at the base of the beak.
Thanks Shorty. I think this is pretty much adult though, or at least a considerably older than mine. Mine still had a fair bit of streaking on the back and head, although no longer had any down the front.
That said, this variability of the size/presence of the white spot is quite interesting. This just gets harder and harder.
Does anyone elso on this forum have a picture of a juvenile/immature Scarlet Robin or Red-capped Robin, preferably one you took with adults nearby so certain of ID?

Not 100% sure but with the red on the breast i would say Scarlet.
