Camera settings make a big difference to a male BR. That black face stands out much better in this second shot from the grey belly,crown and nape etc. doesn't it?

My favourite view of a male BR is this lateral view. It shows off all its best features; red outer-tail feathers with darker central tail-feathers in view, red undertail-coverts, white wing-panel, black face and breast, grey belly, grey crown and nape sharply separated from black cheek by distinct line, black forehead...absolutely
exquisite.
