Thank you. I will remove Juvenile.
You have a first year adult gaining its adult plumage.
You can see a juvenile here

Note the clear gape.
Very interesting, I don't even know what a moult is, can you elaborate please?
This is not a juvenile Robin, it is an adult possibly undergoing a moult.
Juvenile Robins do not have any red but do have a speckled breast with a dull orange tinge and like all juvenile bird, a trace of a white gape either side of the bill.
