I spotted this small bird yesterday 11 June in Lithia (near Tampa), Florida. Possible candidates include a Lousiana Waterthrush, Sedge Wren, or Winter Wren. None appear to match. Picture included. Thanks for your help, Bill

Actually, it's a Carolina Wren. Waterthrushes are more paler below with streaking on the flanks and less stripes on the wings and tail, and no striping on the undertail coverts; Sedge Wrens are paler with smaller bills, and Winter Wrens are darker with short tails and bills.
