Bushtit (Psaltriparus minimus)

It almost looks like this is a female melanotis group with a tiny bandit mask at the eye, or maybe its just deep shadow there. I did not think Santa Cruz, CA would be in the range of that group.

Nikon d5, 500/5.6e at 1/1600, f/6.3, ISO 1400. Crop down to 2494x2494 (1.9x crop, 950mm equivalent).
