A tight crop of this extremely shy bird which came too close for my 400mm focal length. True to its name the bird displays a beautiful pattern on its feathers that almost looks like it was painted by an artist at leisure.
Perfect head angle for the over-the shoulder pose. Maybe a tad more d-o-f and a bit more room all around. EXP and sharpness good.

It is a truly beautiful bird. I like the looking back pose. Yes, as you mentioned it is a little too tight. You still might be able to add canvas to the left and top.
Great looking bird, like the over the shoulder stare, just a hint more selective sharpen on the head would improve a little, but great shot all the same
