Nice pose and lovely subject. I agree with Doug that the lower part of the frame is a bit bright, but still acceptable. I also agree that you did a good job with the exposure and fill flash.
Though the perch is a bit too big I love the bird and the pose. For the BKGR, select it and use Selective Color to add blacks to the white.
