This mockingbird occurs mainly in Mexico. In a study of three riparian sites in Jalisco, abundance was higher where shrub cover was greater, and breeding took place from April to August.
It is about 23-25 cm long and dark slate or grey-blue overall, with a black mask and red eyes.
A two-year study at three sites along the Ayuquila River in Jalisco found higher abundance where shrub cover was greater and a breeding season from April to August. At least three breeding pairs kept territories at the study sites during the project.
