This tiny bird is a sub adult. 
I used bananas to lure it and it came straight to the perch I placed for him.

Natural light
Mark IV

Hand held

ISO 1250


Thanks for looking.  :D

Very nice of such a great species. Opening up the shadows a bit would make it even better.

Beautiful bird and setting. Possibly you can bring up the light a bit.
