Hello Erwin,
A gorgeous bird shown very well with wonderful detail and excellent exposure. When I first viewed your thumbnail image I thought it was perhaps a yellow warbler, but now I can see quite a bit of difference. The large beak is a dead give-away, along with that bright orange eye.
Love the composition you chose and the natural colors you captured in this fine photo.
