There are generally several differences between representations of Shakyamuni and Amitabha (Amida). Since both are buddhas, they each contain all the typical marks of a buddha, so it can sometimes be hard to distinguish them.
The primary way of distinguishing between the two is the mudra, or position of the hands.
Amitabha Buddha is often shown in the exposition mudra, with his right hand lifted and facing outward and his left hand downward with the thumb and forefinger touching. This mudra demonstrates wisdom and compassion available to all beings.
Amitabha is also shown, when seated, in the meditation mudra.
In Tibetan Buddhism, Amitābha is depicted as red in color (the color of compassion) and facing west (the realm of the Pure Land).
