Nice close-up!! Looks very similar to the black-capped chickadees we get in the northeast

Very nice photo. Very easy to see that she is a cousin of our stateside Chickadees, albeit more colorful. Same cuisine preferences, though :-)

Thanks for commenting, but I believe recent DNA studies have found that their is no relation between them and have changed their scientific names. Chckedees are only related to eurasian blue-tits I think it was. Unrelated birds evolving in similar conditions....

Thanks for clarifying. I didn't know this :) I am sometimes behind the times in the latest findings. Still a beautiful bird :)
