Bearded Reedling is a passerine the size of a chickadee, with a long stored tail. The male, in its nuptial plumage, presents itself as a very red bird with a gray-blue-blue head it sporting two long and very visible black “mustaches” starting from the lores. The throat is white, the beak pointed and thin and the iris yellow-orange. Top of the body, the tail and the flanks are very rufous. The white outer scapulars and the white edges of the primaries form two white bands on the side. Wing-coverts, except the greater outer coverts which are rufous, and the tertials are black with rufous edges.
