A little robin-like flying creature, the male is unmistakable in spring with his brilliant blue throat, flanked underneath with groups of dark, white and chestnut. Its focal throat spot can be white or chestnut, contingent upon which subspecies you are taking a gander at - 'white-spotted' or the more various 'red-spotted'. They can be very cryptic, flicking into the front of a shrubbery with a glimmer of their chestnut tail patches.
