Etymology: Birdsongichthys: Named for Dr Ray S. Birdsong, who contributed substantially to the knowledge on the systematics of the family Gobiidae, especially taxa from the tropical western Atlantic and eastern Pacific Oceans. the systematics of the family Gobiidae, especially taxa from the tropical western Atlantic and eastern Pacific Oceans. The root ‘ichthys’ is derived from the Greek ‘ikhthū́s’ (ιχθύς), fish.

Épines dorsales (Total) : 8; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 9; Épines anales: 1; Rayons mous anaux: 8; Vertèbres: 28. This species is distinguished by having the following characters: possesses all taxonomic characters present in most members of the Gobiosomatini and the Gobiosoma group: D1 VII; dorsal pterygiophore insertion pattern 3-221110; vertebrae: precaudal 11 + 27 and caudal 16; hypurals 1 and 2 fused to some extent with hypurals 3 and 4 and the terminal vertebral element; epural 1; no ventral postcleithrum; pelvic fins separate, no anterior frenum connecting spines, no membrane connecting innermost rays absent or weakly developed; pelvic-fin rays 1-5 unbranched and without fleshy or flattened tips; pelvic-fin rays are long, extending posteriorly to a point between middle or end of anal fin; side of body covered with ctenoid scales, including two modified basicaudal scales; anal-fin pterygiophores 2 inserted before first haemal spine; with cephalic sensory canals; D2 I,9; A I,8. Colouration: body with three horizontal series of bright yellow spots, one along dorsal midline, one along lateral midline and one along ventral midline; anterior profile of head with gradual slope, it is not blunt or nearly vertical; eye large (~8.3-10.6% SL) (Ref. 130191).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Occurs on sand and rubble substrates situated on or around the base of walls or steep rocky slopes on deep reefs (Ref. 130191).
