What came to mind when I initially saw this photo was a bird sliding into home base.
At first, I thought this was a female house finch, it is the right color and there are a lot of those around. But when I started to make this post, the beak and the body markings looked slightly off so I hit with Merline's bird ID app, then looked it up in Sibley's Birds. I'm fairly certain this is a pine siskin (Spinus pinus). I've photographed a pine siskin in the forest, but this is the first one that I've noticed at my feeders.
"Spot Pine Siskins clinging to the ends of conifer branches, even upside down, to feed at cones—or look for an exceptionally streaky, small-billed finch at your feeder. Also, listen for a distinctive, harsh "watch-winding" call (also likened to the sound of slowly tearing a sheet of paper in two) amidst their constant flock twitters." - allaboutbirds.org

Himeji Castle is a fantastic hilltop castle and the finest example of Japanese castle architecture. Because of it brilliant white color and resemblance to a bird taking flight, it is also known as "White Heron Castle". How do you like it? https://backpackandsnorkel.com/Himeji/
