Hi soakes, I'm with you on the female Robin. The marking on the wing, the long tail downwards, and the round eye. (one bird it is certainly not, a female wren). But have a look at the "red-capped Robin" I posted? I think yout bird has an eyering and the marking on the wing is longer than in the Rose Robin's, it could be a young Red-capped Robin. What do you think?
Hi Soakes
Now you got me thinking , but maybe a Jacky Winter ( immature ))
See it! Hear it!

I am no expert but at close inspection it looks to me to be a female superb fairy wren.

Wow, some differing opinons there!
I think it is a juvenile rose robin, as it has been hanging around and actring like a female rose robin that I have seen about here recently.
I would be equally happy if it is a Jacky Winter, since I have never (positively) seen one, but I don't think so.
I'm pretty sure it's not a blue wren. There are a lot of them about here and I think I would recognise one by its tail action.

It would be cool if it is a red-capped robin, as I have not seen them around here before.
I haven't seen these robins in the past 2 days.
