Sorry for zoo image, but found this an interesting bird

1D2N, 400mm, ISO 800, 1/640, f/8....thanks for looking and c/c.
Appreciate the opportunity to share

Very cool portrait, I like the details and exposure control and I'm not sure I have seen an image of this species before. I might remove the white vertical lines above the head and on the left side.
