1206 i believe.  you can always measure em with a caliper or micrometer. 

0603 = 0.06" X 0.03"
0805 = 0.08" X 0.05"
1206 = 0.12" X 0.06"

The resistors in ur pic are definately 0805 so i think the LEDs are the next size up(1206).  but 0805 LEDs will fit on 1206 pads if thats what u got, may even be easier to solder by hand cuz more pad will show.

They look like 1206. But measure them like Chives said ;)
