Certhia americana
Saw this bird on the coast of Deception Pass State Park. Not very sure it is a pacific slope flycatcher.
It seemed like its beak was longer and it had a yellow eyebrow that is not consistent with the species as far as I can tell. It is the closest that I can find. Also, time of year to find in this location is summer, rarely-uncommon in spring. This spotting occurred in January. Perhaps, because this winter has been relatively mild. Would like to confirm the spotting. I recognize that it is difficult with the poor photographic quality.
You're welcome! Amazing how a good nights sleep changes the way you see things :)
Gah no wonder I couldn't match it with any of the wrens, it isn't one! Just needed some sleep and then take a second look at it. Never seen one on rocks before though, that's weird. By the way, a winter wren is very far out of range.
This is a species of Wren, but I have a hard time telling them apart. Based on range and time of year, Bewick's would be most likely, but tail doesn't look right for Bewick's
