[41] In a study of 105 juvenile robins, 77.1% were infected with endoparasites, Syngamus sp. being the most commonly encountered, in 57.1% of the birds. [42]
English: Close-up of a juvenile Cape Robin in suburban Pretoria, South Africa. The eye-ring is conspicuous in the juvenile, while in the adult it is blackish and merges with the face plumage. The white supercilium of an adult is prominent, though still inconspicuous in this juvenile.
The thin black bill is around 1.5 centimetres (0.59 in) long. Juvenile birds are rufous with paler streaks on the head.
