[TN-Bird] Bewicks wren question

For birders that are familiar with Bewick=92s Wren, please feel free to =
comment,
Today I was at the park in Columbia and saw a small bird foraging in the =
cracks of a wooden structure near some brush.  My first thought was, =
=93that Carolina wren is acting like a mockingbird=94.  This wren was not =
a House or Winter, this wren was white below, not buffy, had a longish =
tail and was twitching it side to side.  When it got to the top of the =
wooden structure, it stood there like a mockingbird, wings held below =
center and tail straight up, twitching side to side.  I could also hear a =
low churp like call, almost muffled like.  In every way this bird was =
acting and looking like a Bewicks, however I am not familiar with the =
species enough to call it that by behavior alone.  I did not have binocs =
and could not see any white in the tail, but I have never seen a Carolina =
wren act or look this way.  Any thoughts?
