Not all birds have to be spectacular to be appealing

This is a common bird of Central America. A Sooty-capped Chlorospingus (used to be a Sooty-capped Brush-Finch), it has some color, but compared to other tropical birds found in this environment, it a "plain" bird. Difficult to get an image in the open, it likes low shrubbery like this. I decided to crop this fairly loosely even though the BG is pretty busy.
Shot with a Canon R5, 600 f/4.0, SS 1/200, f/4.0, ISO 4000.
Processed in Topaz DeNoise AI, PS, BG slightly down, white highlights diminished with Clone Stamp set at 15% opacity.
I like the expression and head angle of this bird.

Thanks everyone for some nice comments. My point in posting is that even a relatively ordinary bird can produce a nice image in the right setting, light and pose.
