While photographing a Roseate Spoonbill (unusual for SoCal), saw this fella which I've narrowed down to one of two wrens. I'm going to say marsh wren based on the location (tall reeds in the middle of a river) and the overall size and coloring (white breast and reddish scapulars). What say you?

Hi Sheri,
When and where did you see the roseate spoonbill in SoCal? We are on our way to San Diego next week and if it's around it would certainly be worth a trip.
