Their tail is reddish-brown, their legs are pinkish brown, and they have a black [[Beak|bill.]] The female Japanese robin looks very similar to the male, but their orange and brown color characteristics are much duller and less extensive. The juvenile Japanese robin also looks very similar to the adult, but has dark spotting on the breast, pale rufous feathers from crown to mantle, and a rufus buff.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Collar|first1=Nigel|last2=del Hoyo|first2=Josep|last3=Kirwan|first3=Guy M.|last4=Christie|first4=David|editor1-first=Guy M|editor1-last=Kirwan|title=Japanese Robin (Larvivora akahige)|url=https://birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species/japrob1/cur/introduction|journal=Birds of the World|year=2021|doi=10.2173/bow.japrob1.02|s2cid=244434353|language=en|access-date=2021-10-17|archive-date=2022-06-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220630172447/https://birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species/japrob1/cur/introduction|url-status=dead}}</ref>
