I was having coffee one morning before the sun got above the trees and it was a bit overcast - a RBT HB was visiting the feeder next to our porch, the throat was pitch black, then as the sun started to shine "poof" ruby! Would have made a great video, but as I said, I was drinking coffee and the brain cells were just starting to spin up.Originally Posted by Bill W

Here are two images from this morning....I usually prefer a faster shutter speed because the birds are not still very long but it was overcast so I was using a relatively slow shutter and still got a few keepers. EXIF is the same for both images.
