This was a first sighting for me and the more I look at him, the more I think that this is one of the most beautiful birds that I have ever seen! I just love the subtle variations of tan on his head, neck, and breast; the different shades of blue on his wings, belly and tail; and the contrasting dark brown of the rest of his body! He has a brilliant orange band on his leg, but I removed it in PhotoShop, because I think it's distracting and doesn't look natural.

View On Black or even better Large On Black.
