What is its name ?

The only rather good shot that i could take yesterday with Hoya 400 F 5.6 0ld lens is this one.
Manual focus and Hoya 400 mm F5.6 mounted on Canon 700 D , i do not know its name do you know?
ISO 800 , 1/500 sec , here its name is Kamar Koli , it means mountain Gipsey !
Location
Hamedan , Iran
Date taken
yesterday morning
Equipment used
Canon 700 D and Hoya 400 mm F 5.6 + FD to EOS adapter (with lens inside it)
It is some type of Nuthatch.
Looking it shows the Rock, Persian and Eurasian occur in your country, hope that helps.
 
WOW what a beautiful bird, should be some kind of nuthatch. you can get the correct ID by posting it on the ID subforum here.

Such a lovely picture of a beautiful bird.

As Margaret (Marmot) says, it could be one of a few Nuthatches, so it would be an idea to ask in the [COLOR="Blue"]ID forum[/COLOR] to sort out which species it is.

A great job you've done here Mo, thanks for sharing him with us

It's a nuthatch. I think perhaps not the Eurasian one, but there are others where you are. Lovely little fella |=)|
p.s. It occurs to me that this could be a juvenile. All three species you have in your area have a strong, black eyestreak, whereas this one just has a hint of that. If a juvenile, then Eurasian is also a possibility. Eurasian and Rock both have that round body shape. Persian is slimmer ... at least for the adult birds. Oh well. Someone at ID forum will probably know.

It certainly looks like a Nuthatch but I don't know which species it is. It's a beautiful image Mo. I agree with D and I would post it in the I D section of the Forum. There you will get it's specific name. Make sure you list where you photographed it and the season you captured it in. ;)
