Short-toed treecreeper (Certhia brachydactyla)

I am not sure. I believe I see features of a common tc as well.

not always easy when you don't hear them, the lack of an abrupt angle in the wing pattern seems to confirm your ID; superb photo with excellent details and a great setting, top class, many tfs!!

Exactly why ID it Short-toed.

I fully agree that, again apart from their vocalisation, the wing pattern is the most reliable ID feature, the length of the bill e.g. is from my experience much more variable. I think you can say 100% that this is short-toed. Over here their range is quite different with respect to altitude (eurasian only occuring at higher altitudes, but there is a certain overlap)
