        Very likely this is a Mash tit, for these reasons:

        - This one is slender, whilst the Willow tit is more fat
        - The Mash tits black pattern on the head extends more towards its back, as seen on your photo
        - The Mash tit's black is non-reflective, as seen on your photo

        Other differences are in a black throat spot and a wing spot, but they are not visible in this shot.         Posted 10 years ago
