The bird is perched atop a dark colored bar that arches across the lower part of the photograph. The tufted titmouse is shown in profile, with a distinct pointed crest. Its head, wings, and back are dark gray. The bird has a white breast and underside with a rust-colored patch at center, under its wing.

One of the regulars at our bird feeder station, a tufted titmouse, checks out the lunch prospects below as snow lightly falls all around.
