Lindell,
 
The photos and likely possibilities support both your identifications (more than any other possibilities), so I can't suggest anything more. Assisted by the text in Pizzey's field guide, I'd say the Robin is more likely an adult female than a juvenile (male or female).

Out at Namadgi Visitor Centre this morning I saw this little bird - ID-1. I haven't seen a Red-capped Robin before and would be sure that this was one, but would it be a female or a juvenile male?
ID-2 was also at NVC this morning and unfortunately the light and angle wasn't good enough to see the colour of the eye. Everything else points towards a Western Gerygone. Would this be so?
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
