A blue mockingbird, scientific name Melanotis caerulescens, is a species of bird in the Mimidae family. It is native to Mexico and parts of Central America. This bird is characterized by its bright blue feathers, dark eyes, and long tail. It acquires its name due to its mimicry skills similar to other types of mockingbirds. It typically inhabits in forest and woodland areas.

The Blue Mockingbird is a species of bird in the Mimidae family. It is endemic to Mexico, but has occurred as a vagrant in the southern United States. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and heavily degraded former forest.
The Blue Mockingbird is uniformly blue on its back, tail, wings, head and underbelly. This color is a result of feather structure rather than pigment, and therefore can look gray in the shade. It has a black mask surrounding its reddish-brown eyes. It has a rather long, slightly graduated tail, and dark blue streaks over its breast. Its bill is long, thin and slightly curved, and its legs and feet are black.
