Varied Bunting
I know the rock perch isn't ideal, but this species pretty much lives on the ground foraging, so I was happy to get something out in the open after having tried for multiple days to even get a shot of one without a lot of ground vegetation. This was from early summer.

ISO 1600
A beautiful looking bird. I don't mind the perch. Nice background.
Kurt, congrats on getting this one.
I don't mind the perch at all, personally. The spots are slightly distracting but I've seen a lot worse.
Love the earthy, desert-y bkg. Very sharp. You might evict that smaller, second catchlight.
Would love to shoot one myself. Tfs.
nice colorful specie Kurt, good light and BG, perch could be better but at least it is not distracting

I am not sure if I can add any constructive critique, I have not seen one of these birds but for what it's worth I get the impression the subject is a rather dark/heavy (???)
What a cool-looking bird this is! I love the colours. The perch is not that bad really, and the BG is perfect. Good call on the vertical comp. I was gonna suggest removing the second catchlight, but Brian already has.
Beautiful image of a very tough-to-photograph bird. Audio or luck?
with love, artie
