Rose it is - pink robins have black upper parts and paler pink breast. Also they are a lot less common. You were lucky to get one being so cooperative. We hear them a lot more than we see them (but neither very often).

Over the years I have spotted them occasionally and consider myself very lucky when I do. This one was very co-operative though it had just taken a bath so I suspect was more interested in preening.
