Great bird, great tongue. What was it perched on? Was it coming to your feeder or getting stuff from a rotted tree? Good EXP.

Great capture, I like being able to see the tongue. BG looks good, too, maybe just a bit NR on it. I would sharpen the bird more, it seems the critical focus is on the foot.
