Id help for Chickadee in San Francisco

Attachment: Chickadee.jpg

Feeder in SF suburbs, early in the morning. Is this a chestnut backed just from the front? Thank you, FB

It's a tough view, but I would say yes. It is the expected bird by range, with the next probably being Mountain Chickadee, which should look quite different even head on like this.

Thank you all, I really wasn't sure what else it could be but I haven't seen the chestnut backed before and not from this angle. FB
