I'm no birder, but I'm always up for a challenge! Unfortunately there's about a bajillion birds that look extremely similar it seems..
How about a 'Rock Wren'?

That's pretty darn close, given the markings and colors, though the bird in your photo looks to have a thinner, longer beak. Still, it's hard to deny those spots near the tail. Funny enough, they are both sitting on rocks. Thus the name?

Rock Wren for sure, the undertail covert stripes are diagnostic...
