User's notes

Unsure whether this was a Rose or flame robin. In person it seemed very similar to the female rose robin I sighted on red Hill. However I was unable to observe whether or not it dipped its wings at the back and on the computer some of the images the feathers on the belly appear perhaps more of a brownish tinge. I have other photos I'd needed but most are from similar angles just may show slightly different elements. I have no photos from behind. But there is a slight chance dad may have one (I haven't checked yet)

From the tall upright stance and overall colouration I think it is a Flame

Have checked dads photos the wing markings definitely fit with a flame robin.
