Males have blue-tinged grey ear coverts and neck sides, with orange-red throats in breeding plumage. Females have brown upperparts with a blackish tail flanked by white, a buffish breast and mostly white underparts. Unlike the red-breasted flycatcher, the female's tail is blackish rather than brown and the red of breeding males does not extend onto the breast. (Wikipedia, general species account)
