Ah, the perfect warbler pose. And sharp too. You can tone down the bright BKGR spot behind the bird with a 60% Opacity clone stamp. And you can try adding some blue to the yellows either in Selective color or to the whole image with a Photo Filter. This will tone down the yellows a bit.
All in all a fine image. I like the hint of a yarmulke.

The pose is classic Warbler and has some nice light. I learned something from Arties post regarding adding blues to the yellows to tone down the bright area on the chest.
Keith, very nice composition and great lighting on the bird's head. I normally am not worried about highlights in the background if they are spread out but I think Arthur has a point about fixing this one because it really draws the eye away from the bird. I also agree with Axel that the BG could stand another round of NR.
