Hi,
I suppose this is a Common Treecreeper (Certhia familiaris), but any confirmation would be very much appreciated. Pics taken on January 20th in Bucharest.
Thank you for help.

Eurasian Treecreeper for me. The "notch" in the wingbar, shorter bill, long hindclaw and white breast are pretty diagnostic for me.

There is another structural feature, the widely spaced tips of p6 and p7, with a cluster of primary tips (p8-10) near the tertials - Sh-toed would have more evenly spaced primaries.
The tertials also have paler inner webs, indicative of Eurasian.
