Adults are grey-olive on the upperparts with a grey head and a dark line through the eyes; the underparts are light becoming light orange-yellow on the lower breast and belly. They have a long black tail with white outer feathers. Western kingbirds also have a reddish crown that they only display during courtship and confrontations with other species.

This is one of the nesting pair in a tall pine tree several yards from the nest.

It sat very still, since it was away from the nest and holding our attention.
