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.

Regards Luke.

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.

I actually have much more than 5 images should I send them directly?

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.
