08 Civic LX - front right side rattle

I've had a rattle on the front passenger side of my civic for probably a year now. I've taken it to 2 dealers and another mechanic and each time they can't find/diagnose it.

I'm pretty sure it's coming from outside of the car and it does not seem to be connected any particular action (braking or accelerating). It's intermittent as in I won't hear it for an entire drive but regular enough that I hear it several times a week... any thoughts?

Does it sound like a brake pad rattle, or AC compressor clutch rattle, or loose exhasut pipe/heat shield rattle ?
