A better HA would definitely be in order...and it would actually enhance the singing pose. With an angle a bit towards us instead you would have a view of inside the mouth, which is always pretty cool to have - plus it is very rare that a "looking away" HA is effective. The rest of your self-critique is bang on, especially with the tangle of twigs obstructing the tail. Not always easy to get them to perch at the perfect place! There might be a slight magenta cast?
I love how the far foot is spread wide open to grip the two twigs!
