I have looked at the galleries but still having trouble- I have posted a pic in my gallery

Hi Cee
This looks like a Marsh Tit to me, as the black bib is so small you can't see it from this angle and also the edges of the flight feathers do not show a pale panel. Marsh is usually the commoner of the two as a visitor to garden feeders.
