Forehead, face and breast orange-red, framed at the sides by a bluish grey band
Rounded, ball-like body on thin long legs, with a large dark eye
Juveniles are entirely brown and spotted; the red breast appears only in their first autumn
Hops on the ground, pausing often to flick wings and tail
Sings through winter and holds a territory alone, so it is usually seen singly in gardens
Thin, wistful trickling song; dry ticking alarm call
