Is this a Robin of some kind?

Hi All,

I went to Organ Pipes again today and encountered a species i don't know. Any Ideas?

Cheers, Denis.

It could be a female whistler or a jacky winter

Thanks, Tegan.

I'm not familiar with either, but you've given me a starting point for some research.

Cheers.

I disagree- at least with Jacky Winter.

Closest impression for me is a wren maybe in eclipse plumage, but I can't rule out one of the dull robins (i'm not familiar with any of them) or whistler (but seems too compact)

That said, I am quite puzzled by this one. No specific bird group especially comes to mind from looking at it

Thanks, Ryu.

There were male eclipse and female wrens where I was shooting today, but this one was was the odd one out. Also agree that it was a bit small for a whistler

I was guessing a Robin if some kind but I just don't know.

Cheers.

Agreed. He's just not being helpful with that tail position of his...
