That time of the year

Since Wendesday of last week, I've been sneezing near-continually, and dripping when not sneezing. And this is *with* the Claritin-D running thickly thru my veins.

Dusky conure photos!

Tuesday I put down a deposit on the dusky conure I'd been visiting with. It will be at least two weeks before I can take her home, as they need to do a throat culture first. Today I visited with her before work, and I took a few pictures. She was absolutely terrified of the camera, so I didn't take too many, I didn't use the flash to scare her more, and I didn't zoom in. The photos came out slightly dull in color, and slightly blurred (since I and she were both moving), so I (unlike usual) actually edited them a bit for color, sharpness, and cropped. Below are the two I like best.


This is my new dusky conure from the back. Her back/wings are actually slightly iridescent, though it doesn't show in the photo.


And from the front, kinda. I can tell her from her "brother" because above her nostrils is a little more tan, and her belly is a little lighter a green. That and they "squared off" the very tip of the other one's tail. :-P

Edit:
Forgot to mention, I'm looking for naming help! Some of my ideas include Sushi, Dragonfly, and Kappa. I'm currently leaning towards Sushi or Kappa - the latter was suggested by "Foxtrot" (CTY friend), in reference to cucumber maki (sushi rolls), and also reminds me of κ (Greek letter).
