Robins are sweet little birds. They come in many color varieties, including a fiery, orangish-red. Meet the flame robin — a little guy that I had the pleasure of meeting on Bruny Island in Tasmania. That brilliantly colored breast can really light up the otherwise dull colors of the forest. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/320th of a second
Yes, definitely a smaller species. More the size of a tufted titmouse or sparrow, but with a more robust breast. Tasmania also has a beautiful pink robin but I was unable to locate and photograph one. There’s always next time.

This species kind of makes our robins look monochromatic by comparison!
Looks much smaller a robin than our north American robin. And the red breast is much larger. Beautiful shot!
