Coal Tit ?

I found this whilst going through my discs.
Is it a coal Tit? Please

I don't think it is on the forum

Hi Chocky

This is a great tit. The coal tit although similar to a great tit has a dusky greyish buff colour on its underparts and doesn't have the black central stripe running doen it's breast.

Yes Thank you . I wasn't sure
I just can't tell the difference if I can't see the stripe. A the sunlight on his head made him look different
If I saw them together I might see the difference .
I'll keep trying.
Thanks very much.
