The bird exhibits dark brown plumage on its head and underparts, a distinctive white patch on its throat and breast, and prominent bright blue on its back and wings. Its head is oriented towards the right of the frame, with its dark, stout beak visible. The background consists of a uniform, overcast light gray sky. In the lower right foreground, a few bare, slender tree branches are partially visible, extending upwards. The scene is devoid of human presence or interaction.
