What I love about this photo is the detail in the feathers, especially around her chest patch. Males robins (Petroica australis australis) have a much more clearly demarked chest patch that goes right up to its neck, whereas the girls have more of a splotch. All robins, whether male or female, adopt quite a quizzical look when watching out for prey.
