Joel:

Nice dorsal view, well exposed.
I might consider a small crop from the left to decenter him a bit.
I can see remnants of your clone work, but faint.
I have a sense of slight graininess(noise) in the bird, but wouldn't expect much with this ISO unless you had to bring the exposure up in post.

Cheers

Sharpness, eye contact and BG look good. The bird could go a bit lighter for my taste.
