Quite common in our area and frequent visitor to our feeders.
Canon 40D, f4, 1/200, 280mm - Shot using 70-200mm with 1.4 TC. Cropped.

I like the pose and eye contact. However, the feathers on the bird lack detail and have a mushy look. Did you do a lot of noise reduction by chance?

Yes, just a touch. However, I think it had more to do with the use of the 1.4TC with the 70-200 lens. I had to crop quite a bit. The detail just wasn't there to begin with.
I should have used the 100-400 lens, but was doing some testing with the 1.4TC + 70-200 combo. I liked the pose.

Great subject and the colors are very nice. Did you hand hold this shot Daniel?

Yes, handheld. It might have been clearer had I used a tripod. I was just doing a quick test of the 1.4TC with the 70-200mm f/2.8.
