Eastern Marsh Wrens show much more black on the head than Western. I don’t know if the preceding is always true, but at least in some the difference is striking. I also think Easterns exploit a wider variety of habitats than Westerns.

So where you are and when you’re there will be helpful. “Ebird. Org” then explore, then explore species, has some helpful information on separating the species. Looks like parts of the Great Plains might have both Marsh Wrens for some challenging ID and some birds may not be identifiable to spp.
