Which one is this? What are the distinguishing characteristics that make that ID?
Thanks in advance.

The best way to decipher between the two is geographic location. But if you happen to meet this fella on diverging grounds with it's closely related species here is a nice explanation between the two straight from Cornell Lab.

Black-capped Chickadee
Adult

Usually can be separated by range (Black-capped in north U.S., Carolina in south), but overlap in a narrow belt from Nebraska E to New Jersey Usually browner overall, with more orangish on sides Mostly white nape Black bib bigger and more ragged in corners More white edging on wings Song and calls different © Jerry Acton

I personally would ID this as a Carolina without knowing where you took it
