Cat Bird or is it a Mockingbird

Steve said this is a cat bird, but it looks more like a mockingbird to me.

I just got word, it is a Mockingbird. My friends referred to it as a cat bird, because it loves to tease the kitties in the neighborhood.  It would sound like a cat!


A mockingbird has a silvery gray head and back with light gray check and belly. White wing patches, seen in flight and during display.  Tail black with white outer trail feathers.  Black bill

A Gray Catbird is slate gray bird with a black crown.  Long think black  bill.  Often seen with tail lifted exposing chestnut colored patch under tail.
