CLOSED: Eastern Kingbird right?

Rockport, TX(Zone 9a)

I was sure that this was an Eastern Kingbird until I saw the photos. There are 3 photos of this bird in the tallow tree and he looks blue in all of them. Trick of the light? Are they blue when youngsters?

There's one more pic but it's just his back, so I'll make this one my last photo.

Looks OK to me (I see no blue!). The white tail tip is just visible in the first pic.

Great, now I'm seeing things! Thanks for the confirmation.
