Given yes the notch tail maybe be mistaken by the black tail with white outer feathers.
We may not be the most experienced birders given we have only been birding a few years but have seen plenty of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers. The description does have many similar field marks to a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. It was just a suggestion to help in identification of the mystery bird.
We really wish you would have put your email so we would not have to waste space on the bird board.
