:D Colored pencils, trying to get back to some realistic study work.~ Was meaning to paint it, but then realized that colored pencils would probably suit the delicate feather details better. It's a small drawing 7.25x6.25 inches, on bristol.

Used photo as a reference--Bird Stock 066 by Malleni-Stock http://malleni-stock.deviantart.com/art/Bird-Stock-066-460756344 . Species not known--but a beautiful bird nonetheless. ^^

Still working on the colorwork of the raffle drawings... They should be up Monday at this rate. :D

EDIT: This bird species is called a Red Fody--a type of weaver bird from Madagascar. ^^
