Physical descriptions
Because this is a sexually monomorphic species, hens and cocks are visually indistinguishable. The “normal” form is considered the chocolate self: the beak is usually two-toned (dark grey on top, silver below), the feathers directly surrounding the beak and throat are nearly black but quickly blend to a deep chocolate colored brown which covers the rest of the bird with the exception of the chest and belly area which are covered in a scallop design of offwhite and chocolate feathers; the rump blends into a black-brown tail.
