Bird pops nicely from the BG and a nice curved perch..
The flash has crisped the feathers a tad, I would do even less sharpening as detail is really nice.
Nicely balanced comp, great colours, good head angle (it would have been more than good with a bit less turn for the bill tip to clear the neck). Sharp, and I like the mottled BG. You could fill in the black lower right corner to make the bottom corner feel more anchored, but still good as is.
Welcome. An aptly named species and a well executed image.
