As for the black I would play with adding 2 or 3 points to the neutrals and maybe 1 to the blacks. Or run some autotone at say 50%. It may just be a difference in monitors as I know you say that your monitor tends to be dark so perhaps we are seeing it differently. On my screen the bird just looks a touch pale and does not have the crisp checkered appearance that a winter Black-bellied Plover should have. That is one of the problems with everyone viewing on different screens.
Also what exactly is that screen shot and what does blacks at 2,3,3 mean. I have never seen that screen and never check it.
