I almost always see this species as a couple when out in the field or at my bird feeder - I like when I see a photo with both included! I wish the male had a better head angle, and the two grasses at left are distracting. The BG is also noisy.
Thanks for the comments - I substituted a noise filtered (neat image) version. Hopefully the background looks better. The original looked OK on my monitor but this does look a bit better.
Very sharp. Sir Daniel nailed the two major problems.
