Not sure what the bird is, but very interesting color patterns. It looks close to a Tropical Parula.

Stuart I believe its a Collared Redstart. Was this taken at Savegre Lodge?

[Bill Dix]

Collared Redstart it is. Lovely little bird, nicely captured with a nice simple BG. Good perch too, although I might be tempted to crop up a bit from the bottom and add some at top, to reduce the heaviness of the stump.

yes outside savegre sitting on a post didnt even think i had a chance to get it

New bird for me!
Agree it is a bit dark so would increase the exposure and go with comp suggested by Bill.

Image does look a tad dark ,smashing little bird and very different to the Redstarts we have in the UK,do like the pose and the nice clean bg,very well captured.

Nice pose, perch and background, Stuart. I would go a tad lighter on this image.

Exposure has already been mentioned. New bird for me, so thanks for posting. Love the colours on the bird and the perch looks great.
