Cool, I've not seen this plumage before. Nice complementary background and I like the jagged perch, it adds some interest.

Lovely shot-I like seeing the lighter colored version of this pretty bird. Almost looks like a different species from the usual. Nice light and pose.

Colour palette very nice through the full frame. I like how the angle of the light has given you the slight shadow on the LHS, adds good tonal depth in that region to complement the perch.

What a beautiful bird and image, Karl. This just shows that you don't need fancy coloured plumage to be a beauty!

+1. Nice shot, especially for ID purposes as I agree with several of the other comments that I have not previously seen this color plumage.

The BG colors complement the plumage really well.
