This Japanese long-crower is similar to the German Phoenix, but has olive green legs and an open tail, unlike the slate legs and closed tail of the Phoenix. It is single-combed, with a white earlobe and red-brown eyes and occurs in a Black-breasted Red variety. The tail of cocks should be carried at an angle of 30 degrees, and that of hens at 20. It is also one of the long-tails, but one which molts its tail regularly.
