I don't think that is a Red breasted nuthatch though, I know quite a bit about backyard birds in the (eastern US anyway) and I also have several books on birds and the red breasted nuthatch doesn't look like that bird. They have a narrower and longer beak and black and white stripes on their heads. I've never seen a bird like this one before. The books I have are of North American birds and eastern US...Rhonda
