Neither is cognition as observable as height, for example. I haven't been able to read Dawkins' book The Extended Phenotype, but it seems to be arguing in favor of including behavior and all its repercussions on the world as extensions of what would otherwise be limited by the term phenotype.

Is behaviour a part of an animals  identifiable trait?

Yes it is, then it is part of its phenotype.

Behavior is not a part, but a product, of organisms.
