With that black face and yellow collar
we would think maybe Datana. Were there a fair number feeding communally? There was a interesting discussion concerning Datana on a recent post that you can probably find by clicking on Recent Images while on Datana.

Any possibility that there is
witchhazel nearby and this one simply fell from the pack there?
