I believe this is a white-breasted nuthatch. I saw this in a park next to the Hudson River in the Hudson Valley of New York. Most of the US including New York State is part of their year-round range.
According to All About Birds white-breasted nuthatches get their name from their habit of jamming large nuts and acorns into tree bark, then hitting them with their sharp bill to “hatch” out the seed from the inside.
Have a great weekend!

Always like the little “slash” above the eye. Like a bit of an accent much like those pencil mustaches.

It’s definitely a distinguishing feature. It makes it look like the eye is part of a spoon on its face.

Definitely the White-Breasted variety. For such relatively small birds they have such a deep call. You managed to get a shot of one not pointed down the tree ha.

Yes, this one is frequently walking down the tree upside down. I do not have too many shots of it because of that and it is not on a tree for long.
