Charming shot! And very colourful at that age - I imagine only just out of the nest. I photographed some rather older juvs a few days ago and was a bit puzzled by a few small red marks which I thought might be weird photographic artifacts, but having seen this pic, they were obviously remnants of this plumage. Thanks for clearing that up, and for posting this fine capture.
