Can you spot the

European Robin.  Buried in the underbrush.

He was curious enough to come out to see us.

In England, known as Robin Red-breast.  One might wonder why, with that bright orange breast, he would be named Robin Red-breast.  The answer to that question is that the little bird was described and named in England in the 1300s.  A specific word in English to distinguish orange from red, was not coined until the 1400s.
