This one is from my homeland (Puerto Rico), one of the most common birds, at least on the west coast.

I love it, it looks like a grayscale version of our Tropical Kingbird - (Tyrannus melancholicus) that we have here in Argentina, love the light, the profile and the BG although I woult try to lighten the dark areas in the right a bit, also a better head turn to achieve a better eye contact would'v helped, other than than, I like it very much! Congratulations!
Agree with Ramon's suggestions on how to improve the image. Nice sharpness and like the way the eye is illuminated. Thanks for posting!
Beautiful capture Raul and great comments from above. Really like the lighting and excellent detail !!
Hola Raul! y este come coquis?
Very nice bird, it looks like a fly catcher right? I agree with Ramon, we have one that looks just like this one, and is called Mosquerito Tropical. Saludos.
A lovely bird...sharp detail and a nice pose. The BG does detract from this nice image, but some PS work will improve that. Very nice capture.
Very nice Raul. Moving a few steps to the right just might have cleared up that right side of the background and the head turn issues, but all in all a very nice image of a infrequently photographed bird. I see them quite often in Miami too...but always on powerlines!
