A good Black-winged Bronze should have an exceptionally long and broad breast. Breast should narrow toward the rear so it doesn't interfere with balance or movement. The primary feathers should be solid black.

Poults are similar to Bronze poults, except they have a yellowish-white ground color instead of light brown.
