How can you seem common when you have a hood of that gorgeous color?

@joysabin Well, there are quite a lot of them around so I guess that they are 'common' in that sense but, taken in the right light, they are uncommonly iridescent and lovely. They can often come off in photos as rather malevolent though, with that intense yellow eye and long sharp beak.

Beautiful color on his head.
