==Description== These dainty birds are intermediate between [[Old World warbler]]s and [[wren]]s in their structure and habits, moving restlessly through foliage seeking insects. The gnatcatchers are mainly soft bluish grey in color, and have the typical insectivore's long sharp bill. Many species have distinctive black head patterns (especially males) and long, regularly cocked, black-and-white tails. The skulking '''gnatwrens''' are browner, more thickset, and with proportionally shorter tails and longer bills.<ref name="HBW 11"/>
