Pardon my attitude but what dolt programming Digital Pro 3 lumped a
lagomorph and a rodent and an insectivore together?  Taxonomically it makes
ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.

Mark, I think the pika photo misses the mark (oops, pun not intended).
Partly because its face is mostly hidden behind a rock, and partly because
the detail and color in the rocks overpowers the pika.  I know that pikas
are tough little critters to photograph:

Can you fill us in on the circumstances?  I know you've done better work; I
suspect you didn't have much time available to spend with the pika.
