Description

The Samoan triller is a bird with a length of about 13 cm, smaller than its relative, the Polynesian triller.[1][3] There is no sexual dimorphism in Samoan trillers, with both sexes possessing similar plumage, a yellow bill, and white iris.[3][4] The upperparts of the plumage range from a brown to a grey-brown.[3] The underparts, chest, and throat are white, with faint brown bars present on the bird's flanks.[3][5]
