A Noisy pitta stands on the forest floor of dark, damp leaf litter. In its beak, it holds a large, glossy rainforest snail. The bird's head and nape are black with a chestnut crown. It has a distinctive black facial stripe over the eye. Its underpart is a dull yellow, and it has a small, blue shoulder patch. The tail is black, with a small red patch under the tail.
