Thanks for the comments. This id was unambiguous due to the field marks. First of all, this is a bird only seen one other time in recorded history in Estes Park, CO. So, it's causing quite a stir amongst birders here. I knew to look for him. And, this wren is unlike other wrens in markings and coloration. He matches the images in the field guide books for Bewick's Wren without doubt. Finally, this is a species which has virtually disappeared in the Eastern US. There are not too many birds which I've never seen before, but this was a pleasant surprise.

Lovely capture. If your wrens are like ours, they are very small and very shy and it isn't easy to photograph them.
