I'd say it was a juv Marsh tit too, they do look a bit odd in their first week or so!
You can just about make out the two tone cheek as well as a slightly glossy cap and the white cutting edge on the bill. The bib looks pretty broad too, but this seems to shrink as the bird matures.
That and the fact that we havn't had a positive sighting of Willow tit for about 5 yrs (and 3 yrs before that individual) at Strumpshaw should confirm your bird as a Marsh.
Cheers-Ben
