I was thinking more like house wren but difficult with the bird at that angle. Pacifics are really small. The one in my spotting you would think it was the size of a mouse. No neck and stubby tail.
I had several people correct me from "winter wren" when I posted the image on Facebook, and those were folks who know birds much better than I.
Maybe it's the way it's positioned. This is the Pacific Wren I spotted only a few feet from me in a mud puddle.

Tail seems awful long for a Pacific Wren
A hard bird to photograph! Nice!
