What's in A Name?

Well to be honest I need to ask a favor please - could anyone tell me what is this bird's name? Hope someone can help

This was shot a couple of months ago when I was testing out my new Sigma 120-300mm f2.8 lens for my 5D mkII and apparently this lens I like+

Crisp and clean colors and all that nice bokeh - hand-held no problems but it is heavy and that's why a clamshell tripod mount is part of the kit, it's a keeper for sure!

Link to a large image

Cheers
Bill
