Photo was taken last February. I was down on hand and knees photographing some ducks and this bird decided to check me out.
Full size vertical crop from a horizontal. perhaps a bit tight in places but it is a tight shot. 7DII, 700mm, f/6.3, 1/400, ISO 400

Very nice shot of the Towhee with lovely colors and good detail, David. To me this feels too tight. Since you cropped from a horizontal, I think you might want to expand to the sides, particularly the right and add canvas top and bottom which should be easy with that uniform background.
Nice exposure although I think you could really bring out some more of the detail in the black plumage. There are a few places where the detail gets lost. Of course that is the challenge with dark plumage or bright plumage. I agree that the crop is tight.
