It is a robin; the characteristic red feathers gives it away, as well as the white eye markings. Unfortunately, as you noted, all birds are somewhat fragile and this guy's chances of survival if left to his own devices are fairly low. Now me, I figure that's the way of the world. If you wish to be more charitable than I am, however, I should suppose that you could attempt to find it a caregiver. A local vet may be the best option.
