I saw this Wren at Brazos Bend State Park in SE Texas yesterday. There was another person looking at the wren and said it was a Winter Wren. It looks more like a House Wren to me. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help,
Lyndon

You are right. A Winter Wren would have a shorter tail and a pale eye-brow stripe.

Aside from the field marks rkj mentioned, Winter Wren tend to have darker and more barred underparts.
