Jet black cloaks their face and throat, contrasted by a white swatch beginning at the crest of their head, enfolding their ears and draping down the back of their neck to wrap their midsection. This pale coloration is disrupted by a burnt orange saddle fanning across their shoulder blades and upper back before fading dramatically into cinder forelegs. Their hind legs are a matching shade of charcoal offset by an orange fringe. Their tail matches their snowy white torso, the latter third of it dipped in inky black. Their eyes are the same sunshine yellow as their parents', though their svelte, willowy build favors their mother. See: white-bellied treepie.
