Mystery bird



I have to say, the markings are identical to a Rock Wren. Here's a link to a Rock Wren photo on my Web site:

Compare this to Brian Currie's photo at:

The markings and bill on these birds, to me, appear identical except for the obvious youthfulness of Brian's bird.
 
On the size issue, it's very easy to misjudge the size through binoculars or a camera telephoto lens. I do it more than I'd like to admit :-(
