Bridled Titmouse

Generally limited to the pine and oak regions of central Arizona and southwestern New Mexico; noisy, actively feeding families of the Bridled Titmouse often urge other small songbirds to join them, forming the sort of diverse flocks that bring joy to bird watchers seeking to grow their lists.

Great capture, I yet to have a good photo of one. They are flighty and like heavy cover making manual focus almost mandatory.

Thanks, Curmudgeon:
That's exactly right and to make matters more difficult, gray and black themselves, they favor thickets of dead, gray, branches that cause full-color photos to look black and white...

Your Titmouse is a close cousin. Both are in the family Paridae, along with other Titmice and Chickadees

You need to get about as far south as Albuquerque and poke around in the scrub oak and pines.
