Ken,

up to now I only have seen the red billed, yellow billed and  did not knew about this one. Nicely done and I have to say also a bit unusual for me is the "perch".

Nice job, Ken.  The beak stands out from the far wing quite well in the larger image.  I like the nice extension on the legs and the overall feel of energy in the bird.  Excellent detail.
