The Pink Robins here in Tassie often droop their wings

Thanks Mike ...

For confirming that Pink Robins have paler outer retrices and therefore that my eyes have not quite gone!

I've noted that a few times in Bayside SE Melbourne, where I've seen about 10 individuals, and was wondering about the quality of my identifications.

Incidentally the photos in question suggest the bird was drooping its wings (as Rose Robins often do). I've noted that only once in a Pink Robin.
