This eastern kingbird just took off from the white berries shrub on the left, which is kind of normal. What is not is the 180 degrees twist of his head to look the sky in his back.

Super shot of this unusual sight, Yves. Something must have caught his attention unexpectedly and you did very well to capture the action. Very unique image!
