The Indian robin is widespread in the Indian subcontinent, ranging across Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Males have chestnut undertail coverts, visible because the bird usually holds its 6 to 8cm tail raised upright (Wikipedia, general species account).
Three or four eggs are the usual clutch; they are regular ovals, with the markings denser at the larger end, where they form an irregular cap, and some are blotched with dark reddish brown at the large end. The source read gives no habitat, diet or size information, so none is stated.
