Marsh or Willow

Hello all, long time no speak.

Could you help me identify whether this is a Marsh or a Willow Tit?

One of the two shots is a little blurred but at least it give you a front view.

Thanks

Hi tWITCH, sorry but I can't see any photographs

That's because I'm out of practise and forgot to attach them

eXperts please correct me but i think it is a willow tit judging by the slight difference in cap and tail
Hope that helped

I agree, it's a Willow Tit,

One tip I was given which seems to hold true is to look at the bill. If it's black all over, it's a Willow. Any lightness to the edges or a small white mark near the head, it's a Marsh.
