But what is it?

I was poisoned! By a chicken caesar sandwich. Ugh. It's been a nasty ten days, let me tell you. Hence, the no-posting. But now I'm better. And back to stalking birds!

Anyone know what this is? We're stumped. It almost looks like a cross between a nuthatch and a robin, but I don't think that's possible.

Edited to add a profile shot:


(Grainy, because the sun was setting and the light wasn't great.)

Joy!

I got some new camera toys--a close-up lens and a telephoto lens. I'll post more about them later, I'm sure, but for now...
