This species has mainly blue-gray upper parts, with a greenish back patch and two white wing bars. The breast is yellowish shading into the white belly. The summer male has bluish and rufous breast bands and prominent white eye crescents.

Notes:

I wish the bird had been closer so I could have gotten better shots but I was pleased to get them as it's my first sighting of this bird.
