Eastern Ontario small bird resembles warbling vireo ID needed (1 Viewer)

[Sandra_ON]

I saw this little bird this morning in our local park and it reminded me of a warbling vireo but the eye markings aren't the same.

Looking forward to ID.

Thanks,

Hi Sandra,

It's a juvenile nuthatch. From the head pattern I would go with White-breasted, but not living in North America, I've never seen any of the species as fledglings, so would happily accept that it might not be.

Nice shot!

It's definitely a White-breasted Nuthatch

Thank you both I never would have thought of a nuthatch!

Yes, it looks to be a juvie White-breasted Nuthatch
