What is the name of this bird? It makes the cry, "VIDeo, VIDeo, VIDeo, VIDeo..."?

It is a small, chubby, perky bird found on the west coast of


Florida (about 4-5" from tip of beak to tail). It has a longish, curved bill and is sort of speckled in a drabby color with a streak running across its eye that is black (or dark) and white. It was perched in my Night-blooming Jasmine bush. It had a very pleasant little song that was a prelude to the "VIDeo, VIDeo, VIDeo..." chorus. I've heard this bird many times, but today was the first time I actually saw one.

What is the name of this bird? It makes the cry, "VIDeo, VIDeo, VIDeo, VIDeo..."?
Sounds like a Carolina wren. Did it keep its tail


****** up almost vertically part of the time? If


so almost surely a wren. The size and description


would fit the Carolina wren, likewise the song. The


other wren that looks most like the Carolina is the


Bewick's wren, but the song isn't right for that.
Reply:that would be Viewsonic mascot birds.
