    Default Pygmy Nuthatch? Not sure

    I have been observing this new fella on my feeder for last few days. He is so small and fast that I could hardly get a glimpse of this bird. Today, I was determined and did spend a good amount of time to have a closer look at this beauty. I am not very sure of the ID but looks like this one is a Pygmy nuthatch. Can anyone here please confirm the ID?

    Nikon D300s | 500mm | ISO 1600 | 1/640s | F 6.3

    In Georgia, this would be a Brown-headed Nuthatch. Its counterpart in the western United States is the Pygmy Nuthatch.

    Looks like it may be a juvenile to boot. Very nice work at such a high ISO equivalent.
