Leo has simply spoiled these standard "perched on the reed stalk" poses for me.
I may never forgive him. 
EDIT: I know that I'm NEVER gonna forgive that ornithologist-wannabe that told me these were Marsh Wrens. Stupid, stupid man.

Stupid, smarmy ornithologist *lied* to me. Or, maybe, he was about as knowledgable as I am, but much better at pretending... Back to the books.... And I'm sooooo tired.... Don't sweat it, Scott. That guy probably isn't even half way through his "Down and Dirty Birding" book, yet. ...Leo

They were far too small. But it is a match in Sibley's for a Female RWB. And Sibleys also says that they can be mistaken for sparrows - and I was going with house sparrow but that wasn't right, either.
