Very strange photo. Doesn't look like any type of titmouse I know and the original photo being from britannica.com has it as a blue tit, which isn't technically a type of titmouse, but the color doesn't match that image.
It seems like the photo they used to put at the top of the article is some sort of composite.

Honestly one of my favorite birds, though. They're just adorable.

They are like finches, but more colorful
And, frankly, I’d rather see one of these birds than either a tit or a mouse.

The less colorful tufted titmouse common around here is actually my favorite variety. But honestly I just love birds.

Also one of the only birds that exists in wintertime (the great tit). Everyone else flies south here

"Tit" and "mouse" in English both come from words that mean "small". "Titmouse" is "smallsmall".

Different etymology of "tit", that one is from "teat".

I zoomed in on that depraved photo because they're so cute.

I like the German bird names much better than the goofy english ones. Blaumeise is just poetic.

I can only tell the difference when I see the two together!

great tit has a black hat and one white patch on the face, the other a black stripe that goes across the white patch and of corse a blueish hat.

Disappointing isn't it!

The great tit is even more unsatisfying
