Super detail and colors. You got the tongue, as well.

Thanks Joe.  To add a bit about the GFW: This is a younger male in about perfect breeding plumage.  Look closely and you will see that the feathers right above his beak and the feathers on the nape of his neck are not yellow, but a slight orange color.  By about July, those feathers will fade into a more "yellowish" color that is pretty close to the color on the front of the bird.
