Help identifying garden bird

It looks like a very scruffy Dunnock looking at the bill.

The markings on the lower wing feathers have the Wren's bars and the white eyebrow is also very Wren like. You may well be right and I am wrong. The bill looks a bit too short though but may just be camera angle..

It seems to be suffering with Trichomonosis so I think it is probably a Dunnock but the white eye stripe does suggest wren in which case it is the first time I have seen a wren in this condition.

Looks like it's just drying off to me and no sign of trichomoniasis from what I can see; no food stuck to bill and I think the damp look is more likely as a result of weather related conditions or bathing.
