Blue leg.

Here are a couple of tufted titmice (Baeolophus bicolor). I know there are hard core titmouse fans. When I was looking at this photo, I noticed that one bird has one blue leg and the other three legs between the two birds are grayish pink. Odd, maybe a trick of light?

"Tufted Titmice nest in tree holes (and nest boxes), but they can’t excavate their own nest cavities. Instead, they use natural holes and cavities left by woodpeckers. These species’ dependence on dead wood for their homes is one reason why it’s important to allow dead trees to remain in forests rather than cutting them down." - allaboutbirds.org
