I think it is a female Rose Robin - slight pink clouding on breast, some white in the tail, hint of the small buff spot on the forehead.

Thank you - so lucky to spot this one among the other LBBs, and she allowed me to stalk her for a while as she flitted around.

Thank you! I also wanted to note that she was flying around fire damaged areas.

Looks like a young one. They are altitudinal migrants coming down to the coastal plains in winter so hope there is some habitat to return to.

So interesting. The habitat might be closer to humans than they are used to, if they can find it?
