Distinguishing features
It has relatively subdued plumage for a robin. Most of the plumage is grey, except for a dullish red tail and patterned black-and-white wings. Their tail makes up about one third of their length. The legs are also unusually long for a passerine, and are frequently used to hop through the dense heathland that forms the bird's habitat (Wikipedia).
