Not the most common variant since this one has more orange than red. Definitely the right markings. Nice shot.

Wow, superb portrait. Either this guy is your pal or that’s an excellent long lens .

Yes, the red/orange sort of throws you off for the male. The Females are pretty bland.

Thanks Mike, it was a Canon 500 f4 which was a pretty good lens. I probably had the 1.4 x attached.
