WOW! I have never seen one of these in person before I think this is the female so clear very nice shot indeed

@Philip: Yes, a female. I see many more of the males than I do the females, or perhaps it just seems that way because the males are so much more obvious in appearance.
What a lovely little thing she is, not something we have here. It never ceases to amaze me just how well camouflaged wildlife is, every tone on that bird is reflected in the surrouding foliage. Really enjoyed this one.
Excellent Nature shot and I do like that you have retained a natural look to it rather than the over-hyped shots we often see elsewhere. Nature rarely needs enhancement.

@Ronnie 2¢: You're not talking about some other kinds of "birds" too, are you?
