Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher

Polioptila caerulea

"Blue-gray above and white below, the aptly blue-gray gnatcatcher is a little more than four inches long. A good portion of that length is the black tail, which has white outer feathers ... several other authors describe it as similar to a miniature mockingbird, although without the white patches in the wings."

The example above shows more blue that others do. They are more gray.
