The Madagascan magpie-robin is around 18 cm (7 in) in length and weighs 21 to 24 g. The plumage varies by s*x; the male of the nominate subspecies has all-black plumage with a white shoulder patch and the female has a grey-brown crown, back and tail, grey-breast and throat and rufous wings and rump. The males of the other two subspecies have more white of the wings and a white abdomen; the female of C. a. pica is much paler overall.
