I'm pretty sure I have one at my feeder, too.  Lots of white on
the shoulders and wings, untidy bib line, a little whiter
underneath. The Carolinas have much grayer backs and
seem darker overall.

It would help if they'd land on the feeder for more than a millisecond.

I just saw the Red-breasted Nuthatch foraging on the ground!
