Long Ears can have orange facial discs or eyes.

I'd say Flammulated can have some orange bits also.

The original pic had me wondering if color saturation was played with a bit or if it was just in particularly good lighting.

They do have a good bit of orange to them:

But they don't seem to normally look as orange as in the post.

Ah the ol’ saturation boost eh. Fair enough. Beautiful either way.

Intense coloration probably doesn't make the best camo.

I'll have to get some more wood owls up in here.
