The image shows a small bird perched on a branch. The bird has a dark gray plumage with a lighter, almost white patch on its chest. It has a slightly fluffy appearance and is looking directly at the camera. The bird has two colored bands on its legs, one green and one red, which are likely used for identification or tracking purposes. The background is blurred, with soft tones of green and brown, suggesting the bird is in a natural, outdoor setting.

Toutouwai

It seems from all my photos of Toutouwai (North Island Robin, Petroica longipes) that they are many different sizes, shapes, and even colours.

Undoubtedly this is just down to angles, lighting, perhaps ages, as well as how they are carrying themselves with regard to temperature and attentiveness.

This one stared curiously straight down my camera lens, lending it a slender shape and making apparent its “eyebrows”.
