Help with Bird ID?

My eyes are crossed from looking at about 100 photos of Northeast GA birds. Flycatcher? Nuthatch? Oriole family? Oy. I've been to the GA Museum of Natural History, Whatbird.com and I don't know what all. Anyone know what this bird is? I shot it at the top of a pecan tree in my backyard.

Thanks for putting me out of my curiosity...

    My significant other seems to think it is a Canadian Jay...or at least in that family.

    Hope that helps.

    You are very welcome. John was raised in a family that enjoyed birds...and did a lot of birdwatching. He has passed this along to our daughter.....

    I just think birds are pretty...and I will watch them...but that is about it...lol.

    Looks like a cedar waxwing to me.

    by gum, I think that's it. Here is the link I used for verification. The head shape and bill look exact, as do the markings
