help me identify this "N" bird
This is a pic of a quilt my daughter got as a gift. I would love to go thru and name all the objects for her but I can't figure out what this "N" bird is. Does anyone have a clue? Thanks!

1. Red Breasted Nuthatch?

3. I agree, Nuthatch
but done by someone with a minimal knowledge of birds-probably from memory of a red-breasted nuthatch without a reference image to guide them. The fact it's associated with the letter N and it's posture confirm it as a nuthatch, but probably the quilter couldn't quite remember the details, so stitched in what looks like a bluebird.

2. Bluebird
1st thought robin but then looking at blue with red breast, it is obviously a bluebird.

4. BB was my first thought too until I realized it's next to the N letter.
