Thanks Joel. It is odd, in that I think you are right and the top half of the breast may be blown out. But LR does not indicate it is blown out (only a very small section of the wing turns red). But I can't pull any detail out of the top half of the breast even with dropping the exposure -5 EV. I am open to suggestions.

Try selecting that area and placing the selection on a separate layer (crtl+J) then change the blend mode for that layer to linear burn and adjust the opacity to taste.
