The pink amaranth is a small bird about 11 centimeters long from the family of finch weavers. Males have bright pink plumage, while females are more modestly colored in brown tones.
The pink amaranth differs from related species by the bright pink coloration of the male without a strong red tint on the head. It helps spread plant seeds and serves as food for small predators.
