From my last vacation in Cuba

Cuban Tody
Todus multicolor
Order: Coraciiformes Family:Todidae:Monotypic

A small, colorful bird with a distinctly big-headed
appearance. The most brightly colored member of the genus, the Cuban Tody has bright green upperparts with gleaming yellowish-green supercilia, yellow lores, red throat, pinkish flanks, whitish belly, and bright yellow crissum. This species is the only member of the genus occurring in Cuba, where it is widespread across a diversity of habitats and often abundant where it occurs. As is the case with other Todus, this species nests in holes burrowed in clay embankments, occasionally in a rotten trunk or even at the entrance to limestone caves.

Tiny looking very vividly color fellow this bird is. Wonderful details and the expression is a plus point. There is bit of noise in the image which can be removed using a nice noise removal tool.

Very sharp, glorious colours, and a nice pose. I also like the fact the bird is a bit different from others with its large head.
An excellent mastery of your equipment.
