Specific Removing little branch/leaf from picture

[nantrax]

Hello everyone.

I have a picture of a yellow warbler. For some reason the leaf/branch on the right annoys me. Could it be possible to remove it? I want the focus to be on the bird. I'm a bit crazy like that.

Not a bird person, but did my best to reconstruct a new tail after removing the leaf.

I made two tries, one with only the requested attempting to recreate the tale looking at other pictures, but it is what it is XD

The other one removing what for me is the most annoying leaf XD

Well if ya'll are going to jump, I played a bit with this myself...mostly trying to correct anatomy...
Gave it an overall curves adjustment with a bit of sharpness added...
