Hello Dgrin'ers,

This little fellow showed up immediately when I went outside this morning, no time to set up so my shots weren't the best. I've tried looking, but no luck getting an ID on it, any guesses? It had similar color to a chickadee, about twice the size, white throat instead of black, very distinct song. Thought it might be some type of wren, but I haven't seen any that looked like this one. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! :)

Like Greaper said, it is a white breasted nut hatch. They frequently are seen running up and down a tree trunk facing the earth like in your image. Or on a tree trunk like this
