The considerable difference between the robin's speaking and singing voices is quite similar to those of Wheezy the penguin in Toy Story 2. Remember he goes from Joe Ranft to Robert Goulet. Here the robin goes from Kevin Clash to Richard Hunt.
What i like is how the robin changes it up when he sings...he's talks with a high-pitch but when he sings its not what you'd expect...its actually much deeper, lol. Look at RW's face when the bird starts to sing...lol.
My guess is Kevin Clash. The robin bird sounds a lot like Elmo. Kevin Clash also plays Hoots the Owl and Clifford from the newer Muppet stuff, which is whom the robin's singing voice sounds like.
i love it how sesame street has humor that would go right over the kids heads but its there for the older watchers eg parents. like the feather duster one, anybody i know?

Not other Robin, it's Kevin Clash... using his normal voice. The change is drastic and shocking. His vocal range is pretty good.
I thought it was really funny.

That voice change is one of the funniest things in the history of the world.
