This Red-belly is around our feeders all the time. Kind of the neighborhood bully. He once took some feathers out of a wren trying to share his feeder. I picked this shot of him not only because of its clarity but also because the "pose" showed a lot of body details. The only main feature missing is the deep orange of the center of his belly. Why he's named red and not orange belly I don't know. But he is a dashing fella none-the-less.
