Seen late this morning, in the eucs in the eastern part of the eucalypt lawns at the ANBG was a Rose Robin. At a distance it looked like a fantail. Then closer to, it was what I thought was a female Rose Robin, with a faint wash on the breast.
However, HANZAB shows an immature looking very similar.
Perhaps someone else could go and identify it more definitely?

This bird fluttered back and forth at about 3-4 m. and every so often opened wide then shut its wings. Maturity or immaturity?
