Yeah it turns out the nuthatch comes in two varieties - who knew?!

It’s slightly different in the image, missing the orange chest printing. However we should probably assume that’s just a render issue & it’s just a straight reuse.

Seems like you where right, however strange that it shows up on PAB now before the set it comes in are released

Will be interesting to see the price difference with and without chest printing
I fear the small birds will have a high price, but as long as the pigeon has the same price as the original one I will not complain to much

I believe one is male and the other is female by the coloring.

Rebrickable knew 😂 I still have no idea what the other set is, but I saw it months ago listed on RB. Good to know they’ll be listed on PaB. I’ll call my smugglers 😏

Are nuthatches sexually dimorphic? I didn’t think they were.

Another plausibility is that it’s another species without the chest colour - perhaps a shrike as @Roebuck suggested way back wham

Yes the male is more colorful and has a bigger orange patch on the belly.  With birds most males are more colorful than the females.  That being said it does seem to be a male and female nuthatch.
