This was one of the birds I really wanted to photograph in Arizona this year.
Fortunately we found one in the beginning of our trip in Tucson. To attract the
bird I used some bits of audio.
I wish the perch hadn't been in such bad shape but it was one of his favorite ones (no setup perch here).
I cropped to 75% of FF and removed a small OOF branch.
Let me know if the brightness is ok.
BTW, here is a double-catchlight without flash.
Comments and critique are welcome.

and also crop from bottom to 3:2 ratio. I do find it a tad bright overall...pulling down the midtones to 0.85 in PS "Levels" gives a nice result on my monitor. We're you suspecting it may be bright, thus the question?
