You have wonderful brown compositions! Embrace the brown! (The photographic kind, that is...)
Well I am on a roll with brown birds, here is one I took a few days ago at the Riverwalk Parkway in Riverside, CA.
The water is pretty high after a few days of strong rains in the last 2 weeks, cleaner and clearer than I remember it from being flushed by all that rain. And the park people turned on the fountain in the main pond for the first time in a very long time.
Ducks, Coots, Gulls, Cormorants a few Stilts and just as I was leaving because the sun was gone and the light failed (forgot to take my flash and better beamer) a couple of Egrets and two Black Crowned Night Herons flew in.
I was on the pier by the observation platform when this Mallard Hen landed only about 4-5 feet away on the railing. She posed nicely for her portrait (yeah, I know, she was hoping I had bread crumbs like the little old lady on the other side).
7DII, 100-400 mk II @ 105, 1/250 @ f/5.6, ISO 400 built in flash because she was back lite by the setting sun - hand held PP in LR and cropped

One I posted before in Photo Gallery and Digital Artistry, the other two were the other frames from a 3 shot series. Main difference is head position changes a little bit and I processed them in a similar way but not exactly the same.
7DII, 100-400 mkII + 1.4 mkIII @560 mm, 1/250 @ f/8.0, ISO 400 with flash at about 15 feet so heavy cropping on a smallish finch - hand held taken less than an hour before sundown with the yard in heavy shade from trees and fence to the west.
1. The Beauty of Brown Feathers #1 head upright and straight ahead
2. The Beauty of Brown Feathers #2 head down and slightly to left
3. The Beauty of Brown Feathers #3 looking a little to right and eye showing
