I believe this is a white-breasted nuthatch..

i have a few that frequent my bird feeder and than my 2 large trees out front. they seem to like being upside down and really use a "regular" bird feeder that they cant hang upside down on. the bird actually acted confused when he was trying to sit/eat at the regular feeder. He sticks to my daughters pine cone, peanut butter, bird seed feeder lol

Welcome to Whatbird. I always picture White-breasted Nuthatches and Brown Creepers together in my mind because one comes down and the other goes up the tree. Used to get confused by which did which.

My "best" lifers; Golden Eagle and Crested Mynah.
