Question

how to remove an object blur in front of main subject

There is a brown caste over the lower part of the tail and neck area of this hummingbird and I have made a couple of unsuccessful attempts are removing it in LR classic and Photoshop.

Wondering if someone can help me with this image please.

 

Tried to load the actual image however I keep getting a message that the file type is not correct or invalid. It is an Nikon NEF file.

This is trivial to remove in Photoshop, try the clone stamp, healing brush, or patch tool.

I tried the clone stamp with very artifical results due to the changing colours in the neck area but I have never used Ps before.

Consider posting a JPEG to show what the challenge is.
