Alberta Canada - Is this a House Wren (1 Viewer)

Hi,
today I was out near Red Deer and watched this bird from a long distance. It was singing fro the very top of a tall spruce tree in a forested area in central Alberta, with my binoculars I never saw enough to be clear on an ID, I tried to take some some photos and have blown them up, and now I think this is a House Wren. But I have been seeing House Wrens around regularly since I arrived a week ago, and while I was watching this bird, I never even thought "wren", (rather I was perhaps stuck on "sparrow"). But looking at the photos, it does not seem to be any type of sparrow, and all I can think of is "House Wren" . I just wonder if I might be missing something?

It has the right shape, although the tail seems a little wide. Without a view of the back it’s hard for me to determine, but based on the colors of face and chest, I don’t believe it is a house wren. Unfortunately, I don’t have an ID for you.
