I have seen many a hooded robin over the years from just leaving the nest to full adult
This one has me questioning
First time I have seen this hooded Robin looks young not juvenile very compact bird small for a hooded like a female scarlet in size but when I first saw her she was behind a branch and my first instinct was it was a female flame robin by the colour the shade
made her look which when I got to see her in light has hooded robin markings
Very doubtful in adding this I do know a male scarlet was feeding young but the feather markings are not of a bird that young for a hooded
The adult hooded robins I know are all nesting and the female from last season was not this small
Any thoughts appreciated
