Maybe a bit lighter on the feet, which are a bit on the large and crooked side for an essentially small bird. I'd suggest you do a lot more of these studies, using B or F pencils perhaps, lightening your touch on them a little so that you get the suggestions of shapes rather than commit yourself too soon, and then using quite fluid paint to sweep in the main shapes. It doesn't matter if the details aren't right, it's the overall shape and sense of movement you need to capture.
