Hopefully you guys enjoy it.

Very nice as posted. The background works well to sow off the seedeater.

Well the name seems to fit the bird just fine. I like the pose, perch, directional light and complimentary background.

Thank you guys for your comments.

Sharon, I don't have any more room on the source image, so I worked a bit on it, added some more canvas to the top.
