They have black-slate upperparts with white on the nape and whitish underparts barred grey-brown and washed red-brown, yellow legs, and grey tail feathers with four dark bands. The eyes are red-orange, with brown-grey cheek patches and a subtle line on the white throat. (Wikipedia, general species account)
