Short-Toed Treecreeper? (1 Viewer)

Is this a Short-Toed Treecreeper? Photos taken today in Kraków. The habitat was the edge of a pine forest where there were many Eurasian Treecreepers.

I find it hard to judge the length of the toes or the claws, but I think this is a Short-toed. The dusky underside and the pattern of the yellow band in the primaries are also better for Short-toed as far as I can see.

Yes, short-toed. 3rd photo shows the pale-edged alula, also the russet "steps" on the wing are even without a "break" halfway up.

Thank you both very much.
