It's actually caused by the lack of sun,I've seen many species including
humans suffering from the same condition this year.,the redness leaves the
chest and transfers to the arse ,all due to sitting around waiting for the
rain to stop.

Googling "white-breasted robin" gives lots of links, e.g.

Although the White Breasted Robin is a native Australian species, the one
you saw was probably suffering from some condition known as leucism,
which means it does not have the pigment that gives robins their red
breasts.

this morning.
