Bewick's Wren

Thryomanes bewickii

"Bewick's wren inhabits most of the state except for East Texas and the upper coast, where it turns up occasionally as a winter vagrant. Brown above and whitish below, Bewick's wren has a long white eyebrow stripe and a long, white-edged tail ... The light underparts and white tail edges distinguish it from the Carolina wren."
A second individual.

This shows the contrast between the tails of the Bewick's Wren and the Carolina Wren.
