on your thread below Paul gave a pretty good description of colors of different parts of your crow.
As for the right paints, I suspect that is subjective and you may have to blend them using your colors and iridescents?

I've been having really good luck with Jansen Art acrylics. Try The Duck Blind or MDI Woodcarvers.
