I managed this fluke shot of this tiny bird while I was on vacation this January down in the Mayan Riviera, Mexico. I'm not sure what to call it though, and am really curious to see if anyone might know. :)

Hmm.....Could be. Compared other pics of the cat bird with mine and they do look very much the same.

It was in shadow the whole time I could see it, but I'm pretty sure I didn't see any blue on it. I'll have to double check on the original to see if I can see any blue when I bring the exposure up to see later.

Nice shot.

Gray Catbird. It winters in Mexico and areas in the Caribbean.
