Another one from the walk in avery at the local zoo.

This was in deep shade under a bush. Had to push the exposure a bit because the IBTL* didn't set enough exposure compensation, hope the noise does not show.

What a beautifully marked and colored bird Lester!
Love the head, and you appear to have pulled it out of the shadows pretty well. Nicely done!
