I'm not familiar with the species, but it is a nice bird.
There are significant image quality issues:
- very noisy, especially visible in the large version
- lack of fine detail (these issues together indicate that this might be a rather large crop)
- the blue of the sky has spilled over onto the branch in places, probably from a soft edge selection before applying noise reduction to the sky
