Nicely composed ... tough backlit background, but I understand about taking what you can get with birds. When shooting birds, especially in the pose your red-bellied is in, pay a lot attention to the tail ... cutting off a portion of the bird can make the difference between a great image and one that is just "okay" .... Voice of experience here!
