İlkbaharda tepesi çalı görünümündedir ve göğsünün üst tarafında kirli sarı bir lekesi vardır. Gagası uzun, yassı ve incedir, yanlardan aşağı doğru hafifçe kıvrılır ve yuvarlak uca doğru genişler; erişkinlerde siyah ve ucu sarıdır, gençlerde pembe, ergenlerde ise tamamen siyahtır. Genç kuşların kanat uçları siyahtır. Kafasını ileri uzatarak güçlü ve kanatları düz bir biçimde uçar.
