Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (adult male) (Polioptila caerulea)

This little one was singing and calling while foraging, one half of a pair, I presume, since there was a female nearby also feeding and calling.

Thanks all! As he was foraging he was singing and calling. Sometimes he would stop a bit from his frantic foraging in order to sing. In one of these pauses I photographed him.
