Naming the bird below


I failed to name the bird depicted below , so as recompense here is a photo of the bird I think it depicts and to make it easier to see I have desaturated the foliage as the bright Greens and Yellows of the tree detract a bit from the splash of colour that is the bird in flight. It is not part of the challenge because I took it last summer just a bit of explanation. Tricky way of introducing an old shot I am proud of EH?

I fear the keeper of the challenge will come down on you for this grave mis conduct. but you did admit it so we hope you are forgiven. Nice colorful image and explanation.

I am sooooo glad you showed him off, he is beautiful (and so is your image). Glad you desaturated the background, that makes him stick out that much more!

Awesome "catch"! Love the colors popping off that desaturated background.

(PS: I posted an old photo, too, so we can bake a cake in jail together - ha)
