red-faced
Flushed with shame
Red-faced describes someone whose face has turned red, typically from embarrassment, anger, or physical exertion.
The embarrassment sense dominates: He was red-faced after tripping on stage.
But context clarifies when it's rage (a red-faced sergeant screaming at recruits) or effort (red-faced runners at the finish line).
