Tveten provides details for only two Texas nuthatches: White-Breasted & Red-Breasted. Of the Brown-Headed Nuthatch, he says (227), "Texas hosts the tiny brown-headed nuthatch ... Sitta pusilla, [which] inhabits the pine woodlands of East Texas." This specimen has the classic nuthatch profile, slate blue-gray upper body with white below. The crown is a rich brown, and there is a darker eye-stripe.
