Males have a black hood, back, and throat over bold orange underparts and rump, though some birds are paler and may look more yellow than orange. The yellow-orange color extends onto the shoulder in a thick wedge over black wings. Wings have a single white bar and white feather edging. The black tail has yellow or orange underneath.
