What a fabulous looking bird, Ken! Beautiful colours, and really sharp, with great details.

Nice backdrop to showcase this beautifully colored Euphonia Ken. Very nice detail, and the iridescent hues are lovely.

The people who name birds really need to learn some anatomy! It sure looks to me like the throat is yellow and the back of the head is purple! A beautiful shot, Ken. Excellent detail and a gorgeous bird.

Beautiful bird. The BG is a little grainy, probably because of the luminance range. What might work here is a levels to darken the midtones in a separated BG.

Wow, Ken! What a beautiful bird, and a beautiful photograph. The focus is perfect, with the whole bird sharp, and the background nicely OOF. I might clone that bit of debris from under the branch by the bird's lower foot.

Thanks everybody, there are certainly very colourful birds in Brazil.
I do not understand the naming either
