Original - The Red-browed Finch (Neochmia temporalis) is an
estrildid finch that inhabits the east coast of
Australia. This species is also been introduced to
French Polynesia for breeding. It is commonly found in temperate forest and dry savanna habitats, but may also be found in dry forest and mangrove habitats in tropical regions.

Previously nominated, but it didn't get the attention it deserved. Charismatic and high quality shot used well within its article. Already a FP on Commons. Note that I have copied the caption almost word-for-word from the article lead.
Support I don't find the angle particularly distracting, and am maybe a little worried that if we standardise angles and poses too much, we'll accidentally hide some types of information, like how it grabs onto the branch.

No, it is not, so far as I am aware. I also disagree with the standardisation of angles; the question simply has to be whether this angle shows what we want it to show; in this case, to show what the bird typically looks like; this includes, not only appearance, but behaviour, habitat and so on. I feel that this image does show that to the level normally expected of FPs.

Support Obstruction by the branch is not that significant, IMO. Besides that, a very nice photo. JujutacularT ·
