Young birds are spotted, as is usual in the genus Alethe. 

 There is no black on the crown, the feathers being streaked 

 with rufous-buff, more narrowly than on the mantle, where 

 the feathers are rufous-buff with black edges. The throat 

 and breast are ochraceous-buff, with black margins to the 

 feathers, producing a mottled appearance.
