Föderation EN Fr 14.02.2025 23:04:02 Yes, family Paridae! Poecile rufescens, same genus as the willow tits (Poecile montana) and marsh tits (Poecile palustris) who are a bit closer to your range. I just learned that chestnut-backed chickadees were formerly lumped into Parus (noted on photographed page), but so were the willow tits, marsh tits, and well, over 50 species, apparently.
