What was the BG?
Great color and thought the perch is large, it is pretty cool and suits the bird well.
Nice look at this common backyard bird.

This is a very nice perch with lots of character and the red background is perfect for this bird.

Thanks for the comments Dan and Laurie. The background is an OOF Japanese Maple that is still hanging onto its leaves despite the cold wet weather.
