"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."

This individual is a very close match to the one Tveten pictures on page 284.
