The head is grey with a white cap, and the upperparts are blackish-grey. There is a white ring around the neck and this white colouration extends across the underside. The underwings are white, and are tipped with a narrow black edge. The sexes are alike, but juveniles have an entirely white head and black bill. More information | |||
