Description: The Scarlet Robin is a small red-breasted medium-sized bird that is found throughout South Western Australia. It has a plump and compact appearance and as with many robins, the male is physically quite different from the female. Males have a black head, neck and upper wings, with a conspicuous white patch above the bill (frontal patch). His breast is scarlet red and the lower underparts are white. The wings are barred white and the outer tail is also white. Females differ markedly from males, being brown above with a whitish frontal patch and an orange-red breast, brown wings and white underneath.
