I don't know Roy but I think shooting in the shade gives you a better exposure. Bright sun can sometime wash bright colors out. This looks pretty good to me.13th Oct 2015

i wish this would have landed in a sunny spot.
i downloaded that Merlin Bird ID app @Marilynne seems pretty good, what it give me better than the book was a few different pics of each bird, male/female at various age of the bird, and sounds too.
Were you able to id the bird in question?
