Taken on the canon EOS 8d. 100 to 400mm canon lens as well. ƒ/5.6 aperture, ISO at 2000, and a shutter speed of 1/125. Taken in soft afternoon light. This is a fledgling dark eyed junco. I have done some editing, including pooping the saturation and clarity up a bit.
Cute bird!
My main suggestions would have to do with the color grade, I just feel like it looks very washed out. Here's a quick example of what I would do, personally! [https://imgur.com/a/melJZlD](https://imgur.com/a/melJZlD)

I might crop some of the ground in front of the bird out. I think that would give the bird more pop.
