Young Wren ? (1 Viewer)

[johnty52]

id help please

Saw this little fellow on Sunday Jan 28 at Deeside, N. Wales.
Occassionally a Wren (distinct barring, sticky up tail etc was close by) but this one didnt have the markings or characteristic tail pose.
Any sugestions ?

Thanks everyone, never thought of Chiffchaff this time of year and must have been too focussed on the Wren nearby .
