È un piccolo passeriforme, lungo circa 13 cm, con un corto e robusto becco conico.[
La specie è caratterizzata da un marcato dimorfismo sessuale.
La femmina ha il becco rosaceo e un piumaggio giallo-verdastro, con strie nere sul dorso.
Il maschio, al di fuori del periodo del corteggiamento, si differenzia dalla femmina unicamente per la colorazione degli occhi, che sono rossi; quando assume la livrea nuziale ha la faccia e il collo neri, mentre il capo e il ventre sono di colore giallo acceso.
