These are very small birds and are extremely agile. It is very hard to get one of them in the open. I was fortunate to have one out in the open after multiple attempts. The bird was perched in a canopy where there wasn't adequate light. That is why a natural bokeh has formed at the background.

Thanks for the [patience and thanks for the stop.

Nice job of getting this one out in the open. Lovely color and markings on the bird.

Biru, Reminds me of a Painted Bunting. Nice colors and details. I might try and bring down the highlights in the background?
