The resemblance which this species bears to the Florida Jay is so 
close that one might readily confound the two. That species, however, 
is distinguishable by its smaller size and its more rounded tail; by its 
having a band of whitish across the forehead and extended over the 
eye, where it is not in dots as in the Ultramarine Jay.
