Another Grey Bird ID Please
This image was taken this morning at the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary in Irvine, CA. It was bouncing around in this bush and there were no others that I could see. At first I thought it was a Bushtit but the eye did not seem right. A couple hours with Sibley and I am still stuck

Help.

I believe it is a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. I saw some at San Joaquin last weekend.

Definitely a gnatcatcher - note the thin beak, eye ring, and white-edged long tail.
