Great Tit (Parus major)

I especially liked this one because of the natural autumn BG. Landed in front of me for a split second but was kind enough to give a decent pose in that short time.

Beautiful background nice overall colors and textures.
I thought that the Great Tit's head was black and not blue as it is on your image.
Is it a local variant?

Thank you Karl! The head on Great Tit's are black but they have a blue tone that is more or less visable depending on light and angle, much like hummingbirds. What I know there isn't much difference in apperence within the species.
