Bill,
Nice shot of a beautiful bird. Funny I was also photographing one today marveling at the color.

Thanks folks, I have probably better poses as it was quite camera-friendly for about 30 secs. or more. And I totally missed the ID, but I don't recall ever seeing one 'til my recent "birding adventures".
