The area around the eyes and most of the bill is red though the bill has a black tip. The crown and sides of the head are black as is the tail. The extent of red on the bill is one of the characteristics that separates this species from Eastern Black-tailed Tityra T. braziliensis according to the HBW and Birdlife International checklist. | |||
