SE AZ near Cave Creek Canyon AZ in early Sept.
Chased this guy in early morning. He really got angrey at me for bothering him. May be a Rock Wren but he flew from tree to bush to roof.

Looks more like a Cactus Wren. Rock Wrens generally stay close to the ground.

I agree with creeker, it's a Cactus Wren.
