The photo shows a male, medium-sized bird with a striking appearance. It has a long, curved red bill and a black and white body. Its upperparts are dark gray, while its underparts are mostly white. A black stripe runs down the back of its neck, and its wings have spotted white coverts. Distinguishing features include its yellow eyes (not apparent in picture) and pale orbital skin, as well as the ample grey-blackish plumage streaking from its ear coverts to the side of its neck. Males are slightly larger than females and have a black base to their lower mandible.
