The adult male has a black crown, wings and tail, and a black band across the midback. The rest of the head, neck, breast and upper back are orange, the rump is olive-green, and the belly is bright yellow. The male wings are heavily modified, with the five outer primaries very narrow for their outer half, and the inner primaries thickened and bowed.
