This morning in west central Missouri:

Carolina Wren – Thryothorus ludovicianus.
Canon 5D III, 2.8 70-200 mm, 2x III.
F 8, 1/640, ISO 1600, 400 mm.
This little one was singing loudly this morning. As I brought the camera up, he flitted away, returning a few moments later.
The underside coloration eliminated Bewick’s Wren – Thryomanes bewickii as a possible identification.
