Thank you.
It is indeed a bird, a local Woodpigeon.
When I first looked at the capture it first looked like maybe a bird was diving down, wings folded back, head out in front. Then I cropped a little to try to get just close enough that the viewer needed to juggle with that component to figure out what was going on. I did consider cropping in closer to make it more clear but the image, in my view, benefits from the various components of light and shade and warmth.
I'll probably play with it a bit more.
