Endemic of Center Mexico, this little Thrush like singing in the afternoon perching in the same place, this give a excelent oportunity for a great photo, i wait for your oppinion.
Cool bird. Nice COMP and BKGR. It seems as if the bird is almost completely in the shade (which is good). Diagonally cut perch a bummer.

Thanks Arthur, the day was cloudy, but in moments the sun was present, in this photo the BKG is in shadows, but the bird have a little difuse sun ligth.
I like it, except for the cut perch...and I'd tone down the leaf a bit more at bottom left. Good comp, and I like the heavy brush feel of the BG. You could also remove the bluish cast to the breast plumage (caused by the shade). Well done Raul.
