A long-tail tit in the lilac tree

I had no idea of the name of this tiny baby bird I saw for the first time yesterday in my garden until I fell on an ornithological website and thought I could identify it as an Aegithalos Caudatus (in french mésange à longue queue or long-tail tit in english).

François Lelièvre, whose picture illustrated this species on the site shows us a lovely one on his Flickr stream:

After comparing his picture and mine I'm now quite sure I shot a long-tail tit.
