Thank you all for your helpful comments. I think, overall, I also prefer color. With the suggestions made by Linda, I reworked the B & W a little, and I like it a little better.
Much more detail and interest! You could lighten the eye even a tiny bit more. I became aware of watching for bright eyes thanks to Treepusher and Snap Shot

As seen without any modifications I would definitely pick the color one

For me, color is an essential element in the makeup or character of any living being. So in the B&W image, I do not get as much sense of "life" of the bird as in the color version.

I prefer the color version. Your re-worked b&w shows more detail than the original b&w, but its still the color photo for me.

the colour has the upper hand on my vote, but the b/w has a smoldering film noire look. 👍👍👍

Thank you all for your kind comments. It appears that the color one wins. I do like the remake B & W better. I think I'll call it "The Maltese Hummer".
