Nice image! Good detail in the dark feathers of the head. Looks very similar to a black capped chicadee over here. Thanks for sharing.

A nice perch and BG. The bird looks sharp. I wish he had turned his head just a bit this way.

Hi Steward,

This really does look similar to our Black-capped Chickadee! Overall a very nice shot- this is one time when the bird not facing the viewer does not bother me.

I like the curious look on the bird's face but here on my awful work monitor I think I'm seeing a slightly yellowish color cast.

Nice job!

I think Alan said it already. Very nice image, but would be even better with a head turn.

If you think Black-capped Chickadee are similar try splitting these guys from Marsh Tit which they were considered conspecific with until the 20th century.

A wonderful shot with good light and clean bg, Steward!
A slightly more head turn toward you would make this one over the top ...

Agree with the head turn. Wonderful light and bg. I like the crooked perch.
