Field Notes

Notes:

This is definitely some type of wren, but with the sun setting I couldn't get very good pictures. This is one of my bluebird houses, I have a picture of the nest earlier that day here: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/21478279

My inclination is Rock over Bewick's particularly because of the vague (as opposed to contrasting) supercilium. Closer crops or photos would help, though, if available.
