The male measuring 12.5 cm and female, 11 cm including an extension tail. It presents the typical sexual dimorphism of the genre, with the male having four colors: white, green, black and red, in a very striking pattern; the female is olive gray parts in the upper and sides of the head and throat, with the tail in less prolonged than the male. It presents vocalization or called in shrill, and attends shaded areas to middle and low height of the vegetation.

Normally lives alone, being observed more frequently feeding on fruit trees and bushes, on the edges of forests. It can be found in the areas of Atlantic forest in southern and southeastern Brazil.
