Kin Hi Utsuri are arguably the most successful Hikariutsuri. The red in good specimens is bright crimson, and while the sumi may be toned down, this does mean that any shimis - normally the plague of Hi Utsuri - are less obvious. The pectoral fins - candy-striped black and white with a golden overlay - can practically glow.

Head sumi is not generally as well defined as in Shiro Utsuri, and dark nostrils on an otherwise all-read head are a common fault.
