I didn't say it was altered...but that the hue is off. It's probably your white balance settings. One way to tell that it's off is that the white on the tail and certain parts of the plant are all on the blue side. It looks like what heppens when you take pics under a fluorescent light, but have the white balance settings on your camera set for tungsten lighting. Read your camera's manual and there should be info about the white balance in there.

I took the pic into photoshop and adjusted it to where everything looks normal and if I adjusted everything correctly, you do have a creamsicle.

>>That picture is completely unaltered, and taken with flash from a distance (with zoom) using a Nikon Coolpix 4300. I took about 25 other pictures of that female the same day, all with the same chromatic qualities. I asked what you would call it because I haven't been able to come up with anything better than Red Fire, and her babies look exactly like her (blue eyes and all), but with the zigzag fire of her mate.
