Certhia familiaris or C. brachydactyla
Is a small passerine bird similar to other treecreepers, and has a curved bill, patterned brown upperparts, whitish underparts, and long stiff tail feathers which help it creep up tree trunks.
The Eurasian Treecreeper has nine or more subspecies which breed in different parts of its range in temperate Eurasia. This species is found in woodlands of all kinds, but where it overlaps with the Short-toed Treecreeper in western Europe it is more likely to be found in coniferous forests or at higher altitudes. It nests in tree crevices or behind bark flakes.
I could only get his back since he was climbing up the tree real fast.

Es verdad, Noe. Yo lo vi de milagro y solo por unos segundos :-)
Es casi imposible fotografiar a estos chiquitines, son como ratones subiendo por los troncos...
