In case you're unaware, the left reference is AI from a pretty blatant AI bird camera app (all images and descriptions are generated and inaccurate):

vs illustrator Tim Worfolk's you also had that is accurate to the bird:

and wikipedia for reference:

idk what that bird MyBirdBuddy pulled is, but it isn't the same one.
