The pink robin is 13.5 cm (5.5 in) long and displays sexual dimorphism – the males and females have plumage which differ markedly. The male has a dark blackish-grey head, throat, back, wings and tail, a pink breast and belly fading to white on the lower abdomen, and a white forehead. The female is dark grey-brown above, with two buff-coloured wing-bars and pinkish-tinged underparts. The bill and feet are black, and the eyes are dark brown.

Feeding Habits
Pink Robin primarily consumes spiders and insects, such as caterpillars, ichneumon wasps, beetles, flies, and ants, foraging through foliage and understory or catching prey in mid-air with adept hunting techniques.
Habitat
The pink Robin commonly resides in dense, moist environments, characterized predominantly by rainforest ecosystems and wet forests dominated by eucalyptus trees. These habitats typically feature thick understory layers. During the non-breeding season, pink Robin may inhabit somewhat drier and more open landscapes.
