The Eastern Yellow Robin is a small, plump bird with a distinctive bright yellow underside and rump. Its upper parts are olive-grey, with a white throat and a dark grey tail. The bird has large, dark eyes and a black bill.
Both males and females share similar plumage, making them difficult to distinguish visually. Juveniles resemble adults but may have slightly duller colouration and faint streaking on the breast.
