Description
Auriparus flaviceps. Male. On saguaro blossoms.
Take in our yard yesterday, southern Arizona, USA.
The difference in coloring between male and female Verdins is subtle, but this is definitely a male. There were two Verdins on the flowers, but I didn't get a picture of the other one, and don't know what gender it was.

Beautiful Image,
Beautiful. Wish it had opened out big. The old eyes aren't as good as they once were.
Nicely captured.
at first I didn't see the bird, then I saw it. The cactus looks like a miniature world and the sky looks like a nebula. Cool pic.
Wow that is a beautiful and rare shot!
