Flame Robin(LamingtonNP) and other interesting movements

What were the features about this bird that made you decide it was a female
Flame Robin and not a female Rose Robin?

I am not aware of Flame Robins ever being seen in this area.

Hi All

We live near the park (Binna Burra end) and 3 days ago saw a female
flame robin in the street. A rarity indeed for here. Oddly enough a
restless flycatcher also appeared on the same day, another rarity. Today
saw the arrival of the first rose robin into the yard, and yesterday a
large group of noisy friarbirds. A few days ago the wind was a cool
westerly. During the summer we also had 3 resident blue faced
honeyeaters and numerous brown honeyeaters. These birds are rarely seen
up at this altitude (570m) where we live, although they do turn up
futher down the mountain.
cheers
