It is grey-brown, with white underparts banded black above and below the chest, giving the species its name. The wings are black, spotted white, the tail is black and the bill and legs are blueish-grey." (Birdlife Australia) The Western subspecies has a black rump while the Eastern subspecies has a white rump.
