Spotted this bird this morning and struggling to identify it, possibly a bunting?

It's a Dunnock. Amongst other things a Bunting would have a much stubbier bill than this.

Thanks, it hadn't even crossed my mind it could be a dunnock as I thought their underparts were predominantly grey not spotted (have a regular visitor in my garden which is mostly grey)? Are the males & females different?

Oh well can't be too disappointed got a cettis warbler today! No pic unfortunately.
