The head is predominantly white with a black narrow band across the eyes. The male also boasts an incredibly long tail, measuring up to 2.4 m (7.9 ft) in length and featuring a silvery white color with chestnut brown bars.

They can be distinguished by their brown plumage, black crown, buff face, and greyish brown barred tail feathers, and are similar in size to a male common pheasant.
