A bird that looks very much like an owl is perched on a branch in a hunched position with its wings down and outspread. It just finished getting a mist bath. It is a grey coloring with darker grey brown on its wings. It has a VERY large wide beak. Honestly it looks like a Muppet.

For reference, here's a picture of Tony the Tawny Frogmouth getting a mist bath.
He is not, in fact an owl. He is from Australia and is a type of nightjar, a family shared by whippoorwills.
I adore tawny frogmouths. They look like Muppets. When they're not doing anything and want you to mind your own business, that act like a vertical log. And are very good at it.
