A very nice clean image, could I suggest have a look at a curves layer set to luminosity - then Auto and 50% Opacity just to have a look see at the consequences, I haven't seen one of these birds but it may just enhance a little??

Krishna, tons of detail and super composition. Nice job, esp at 1/320.
Just a touch flat from my view. Notwithstanding a taste preference and artistic style from you, I too would add a touch of saturation and warmth to the frame. + 2-3 sat and +100-150 warmth could likely give it a boost, whether you use LR or even Nik filters.
TFS!

Looks great all around. The crop works well. I like the calling pose. The perch is neat as well. Killer background.

Hih Krishna, very nice head shot on a terrific perch, agree with more sat and perhaps a boost in temp will give it more life.
