Do you have any clearer shots of the breast? I'm thinking a Rose Robin but would like to see the breast better. If you don't have a clearer picture, can you remember if the breast had any colour. Typically Rose Robin has a rose tinge, Scarlet Robin has a red tinge and Flame is plain. If its not a Rose Robin it would be a Scarlet.

With the droopy wings/cocked tail and overall colouring I would also favour Rose Robin. Right time of year too for passage migration and habitat is more suited to Rose Robin

I've added the extra photos. To the image. I suspect it's probably the most boring of those options but I'll let you decide if the tiniest little tinge of colour is there or not.

Having reviewed the bird book and some of the pictures there may be a slight pink tinge I definitely see what ryu is talking about in relation to wing and tail position.
