I really liked the colour patterns on this bird. I'm not sure whether it's a young bird getting its adult feathers or just going through a moult. Comments always welcomed.

That is one strange looking bird.... The rusty feathers and those huge tertials are beautiful--the head, not so much. Maybe a bit of selective sharpening on the head.
