The Mountain Bluebird is most likely to be confused with other bluebirds. Male Mountain Bluebirds lack any reddish coloration on their underparts unlike Eastern and Western Bluebirds. Females are more difficult to separate.
In the winter they sometimes travel in flocks and feed on berries. I happened to catch this guy flying away with a prized Juniper berry. The picture was taken at Bosque del Apache visitor center.
