Hi
Roger,
Yes
that is a hard one. The photos come across as very dark. I increased the
brightness. My guess is a female Rose Robin. It appears to show a bit of whitish
outer tail feathers and some other white edge to other tail feathers. If so,
that would rule out Pink Robin. Not that I have been to Karma reserve (is that
Kama) but the Pink Robin is normally a forest bird and I suspect that
isn't. Lack of white spot on forehead would appear to rule out Scarlet
Robin and not enough reddish front. The colour and placement of the wing
markings maybe fits the Rose Robin best and they are known to move through
odd habitats (other than forest) when moving. Female Flame Robin is my
second guess but the shape is not quite right (not long enough) and I suspect
the wing markings fit Rose Robin better (though the bird is untidy).

All these
photo’s are of the same bird,taken at Karma reserve this afternoon. Which Robin
Please I lean towards Scarlet or may be Pink. Thoughts please .
