Pacific Wren conformation

I'm thinking this is a Pacific Wren.

Are Pacific and Winter Wren the same? If not what's the difference.

Formerly considered the same species, but was split in 2010 from Winter Wren into Winter Wren and Pacific Wren. They're very hard to tell apart except by song, range is definitely the most reliable way to ID them. That link HamRHead sent will probably say lots more! But yeah it's confusing, older guides will only have Winter Wren in it!
