Its back is grizzled from black to gray; the belly varies regionally from buff to gray or black-and-white, and the dark tail is frosted with pale tips.
It is diurnal and arboreal, foraging in the canopy and on the ground for fruits, nuts, seeds, flowers, and buds; it also takes insects when available.
