thanks Wendy

but she did not seem to have enough yellow on the belly nor holdthe wings apart as robins do so that you can see the back feathers

thanks SteveM

I think that might be it

I am used to the northern form that is a yellow-olive upperparts and pale yellow lower

Slater refers to a south-western form that is olive-brown upperparts and yellowish-buff lower
