Took a trip up to Smith Creek on Sunday (with Eve Meier and Melanie Barnett) and saw a possible Mountain Bluebird there. She caught my eye for being exceptionally pale gray with no rust on the chest and a white vent. After checking with some local folks and on-line, most felt it looked good for a female MOBL, citing the shape, long-primaries, lack of yellow on the bill in addition to the overall gray & pale blue color. I've posted it to eBird on the checklist with notes, but if someone out in SBB-land is really familiar with them, please chime in!
