The sexes assimilate so closely in size and in the colouring of their plumage, that they are to be distinguished only by dissection.
Head, neck, back, and under surface grey, each feather tipped with lighter grey; wings brown; tail black, the middle feathers glossed with deep rich metallic green; irides pearly white; bill and legs black.
The figures are of the natural size.
