Golden-breasted bunting (Emberiza flaviventris)

This was my first good opportunity of getting a decent image of this species. I'm not too happy with the perch hoewever. It is natural stone, but shaped by man and used under a standpipe. I realized just in time before posting that this would be the right gallery therefore.

What a beautiful and colorful bird.....and with the open beak. The perch seems quite natural. Clean, simple BG as well. I think you have a winner with this one. Well done.

HI Vicent,

I would love to see this one with more room at the bottom. The open beak and dark BG is a nice plus.
