CLOSED: Is this a Carolina Chickadee?

I think I have a Carolina Chickadee. I considered the Black-capped Chickadee, but mine doesn't have any buff on its side and it appears a shade darker in color.

Here's another look at it on the suet feeder.

Yep. Carolina and Black Capped Chicadees are very hard to tell apart without hearing their song where their territories overlap, but in Georgia the population is all Carolina sp.

Thanks for verifying my ID.

the Hackster, that's me - my Harley Road King has a sidecar, which is called a hack, thus my friends call me the Hackster.
