A nocturnal bird that has a wide gape and feeds mostly on insects and arthropods.
They roost during the day on a branch relying on their camouflage that resembles their surroundings.
This was one of a pair in my backyard and I just managed to find a hole in the surrounding foliage and waited a ray of sunlight.

A bit less than a 50% crop.
DPP CCPS2021 nothing much done, a bit of NR to BG only, light sharpen.
Nice the bird is in the sun. I would loosen the frame up some.
I like it tight in the frame... crazy looking birds..maybe a bit contrasty but pretty nice.
Sharp. I'd vote for a wider view with the contrast reduced.
with love, artie
ps: great find!
As suggested, wider and slightly reduced exposure on the bird.
And I forgot to eliminate the little white spot in the center!
Hi Colin, less than ideal, but this was where I was thinking based on the OP.
