This thespian, attempting to puff itself up into a sphere, wears a gray doublet with bold white-slashed red sleeves, pale breeches, and a bold red beret with a long, jaunty plume in front. Its expression suggests that it is unimpressed by its audience.

While all three are covered in white flecks (or stars) except for their wings, the leftmost has an iridescent purple throat and green-black breast largely free of stars. The rightmost, most clearly a juvenile from its dark face triangle, shrieks to be fed, while the middle, dark-billed, just grumps.
