Thryomanes bewickii
Bewick’s Wrens are medium-sized wrens with a slender body and a strikingly long tail often held upright. They have slender, long bills that are slightly downcurved. Bewick’s Wrens are subdued brown-and-gray wrens with a long, brow-like white stripe over the eye. The back and wings are plain brown; underparts gray-white; and the long tail is barred with black and tipped with white spots. Males and females look the same.
Hiding as usual in the climbing rose.
Bewick’s Wrens cock their long tails up over their backs, often flicking their tails from side to side or fanning them as they skulk through tangles of branches and leaves searching for insects. During breeding season, males sing vigorously from prominent perches.

Good Luck! :)
My goal is to catch a shot of it out in the open. It was chasing the Carolina wren the other day, but did not get to the camera in time. I will keep trying and sooner or later I will get lucky. Maybe this spring when it nests. :)
awesome find. Not that easy to spot!
