Hi! Help please with identification of Tit.
Ivano-Frankivsk region, 21.01.2024 (photo by Halia Stelmakh)
Marsh is very sedentary, but Willow is both mobile and highly migratory (eg. it was the fourth most commonly caught bird at a coastal migration site this last autumn, over 7200)(both species shouldn't be very mobile).
I don't believe in objectively judging this feature in variant lighting conditions, and is a photo in the paper (fig. 2) in which a Willow Tit appears to show it. That is not to say it couldn't be a Marsh Tit, and might very well be. Bib size and cap gloss are not said to be reliable (along with the buffy flanks I mentioned above myself).
EDIT: ID help - Dachau, Germany - II
And I guess this would be the same subspecies you have in Lithuania (stagnatilis?)?Bib, bill spot, extent of wing panel...all okay for Marsh Tit
