Where was this taken? The head looks like a chickadee, but the rest of it does not like any chickadee I have ever seen before.

My guess would be somewhere in Germany or central Europe.

Good guess, by the way. Someone over in /r/species identified this as a Great Tit, which is common throughout Europe and adjacent regions.

I have been googling chickadees and tits for 20 minutes now...still cannot find a definitive match.

And searching the internet for 'tits' when looking for actual avians is indeed a challenge, I must say.

To add to the awesomeness of this photo, the camera taking this photo was a webcam that took one photo every few minutes (I think, I can't recall the exact time frame), so it just happened to take a picture RIGHT as this bird flew by.
