Default Bird ID please

Her is a little bird I captured today high up in a tree.
I thought at first it was a Dunnock but some thing about him isn't quite right for a Dunnock . I could be wrong
Looking at the last photo which unfortunately isn't really good . The bird appears to have a White rump. I have never seen a Dunnock with white any where.

Oh yes they are
I thought it was at first mainly because of his legs and his head is not so blue.
I'm going to upload him into the gallery later.
Thank you
