Description
This species is a large finch with a heavy, slightly hooked bill. Males are yellow in colour on the head and breast, with a yellow-grey back and rump, and dull white underparts. The wings and tail feathers are darker with golden-yellow edges (2). Females and juveniles differ slightly to males in appearance, being greyer above and on the hindneck. They also have fine streaks on the head, breast, and back, and greyer edges on the wing feathers. This finch's call sounds similar to that of a canary (3).
