She's really lovely Brian. A super picture you've taken of her too.

She looks a bit different to the female on the Opus page - I wonder if they're different subspecies (both Arizona though, so I'm a bit confused about that... not difficult to do though LOL)

According to pictures I've seen, this is a female in breeding color...while the one on the Opus page may not be breeding...
