I took shot yesterday in the Parque del Este, which is a large park park full of vegetation. There is also a small zoo inside and a lot of birds fly around.
Cropped, increased contrast, sharpened, resiszed to meet TN standards.
This is a Cristofue (Pitangus sulphuratus).
"Geographic Range
Pitangus sulphuratus are most commonly found in wet woodland and savannah areas in the eastern region of North America, such as Texas and Louisiana. Also, many individuals are found in South America and Central Argentina.
Other names that P. sulphuratus are known as are great kiskadees and derby flycatchers. Kiskadees can range from 21 to 26 cm in length. They are large birds with big heads. They are among the larger species in the diverse family of tyrant flycatchers. Their sides and crown of the head are bold and black, with a white line above the eye. Their chest area and under parts are bright yellow while their throat is white and their back and tail are brown. They are monomorphic, in that both males and females are quite similar. They are alike in being medium sized and having relatively long wings and short legs. Their color is similar also as the dark structures of the beak, face and back contrast with their yellow mid-section."

Hi Yvonne, a very colourful bird.you have got good DOF and detail around the head. well done. Nick..
Hola Yvonne,
Que buena te quedó la foto!
Muy buenos, nítidos y claros los detalles en el pájaro, se aprecian muy bien en todo el plumage.
Me gusta el fondo, ese follaje verde oscuro difuso, que resalta lo mejor del pájaro.
Felicitaciones y gracias por mostrar la foto.
Un gran saludo,
JM
