The species has sexual dimorphism. The male has a distinctive red head, neck, upper breast, and mantle, black eye ring, scapulars, and wings, a distinctive pointed beak and brown legs. The female is primarily brown, with an orange part underneath the also-pointed beak. The juveniles are not described. The subspecies M. b. annabellae differs from subspecies M. b. boiei in that the males have a white chest instead of a black one.
