Please name at least one field mark that supports your identification.
Looks like a blue gray gnatcatcher. I'm taking ornithology at Ohio State and it looks like the specimens I've seen after playing a screech owl call- PO'd and ready for a fight! Long tail with black also ID's it.
Ack! Too cute! (head explodes)
That's a really cute gnatcatcher picture!
Yeah, blue-gray gnatcatcher. And totally adorable.

Adorable? It kind of looks homocidal to me...
I think it's a Big Scary Fluffybird.
AAAAAHHH!
KAWAII!!
(Blue-gray gnatcatchers are fun to watch. Bzzz- bzzz- busy little things.)
