Another eastern passerine I can't see/photo here in California, so this represents a new species for my collection!
The perch is a bit much, but I couldn't get him onto anything else despite the use of audio. I'd like to see more
leg, but I think the lighting, feather detail, and background are enough to overcome that perched-caused issue.

Dorian, this is sweet man. The lighting helped highlight the tones on this subject nicely.
I personally don't mind the perch and the lush greens with the bkg are pleasing to the eye. I might have traded a little below for a touch more up top if you had it; a very minor and subjective nit.
Otherwise, perhaps brushing just a touch off the sharpening on the back of the neck and top of head might be beneficial.
