About WB, i thought it looked warm too. I did not change in LR. Image was taken 5-10 min before sunset. It might have been that warm.

Late morning in Goa, I saw this bird in our neighborhood. Like any sunbird, they are tiny and fidgety. They don’t sit still in one place for more than a few seconds.
