Both subspecies have a black stripe down the center of the throat and are overall olive and buffy in appearance. The large tail has a gray subterminal band with a white tip. The color of the outer rectrices vary based on the subspecies. Trochalopteron variegatum variegatum has distinctive yellow primary and secondary feathers with cinnamon-tipped greater coverts and black primary coverts. Trochalopteron variegatum variegatum has yellow outer rectrices. The area around the beak is black up until the eye, which is broken with a white eye ring. Buff area at the base of the mandible fades to whitish. The variegatum subspecies has buff forehead with a brownish gray crown. Trochalopteron variegatum simile is similar to Trochalopteron variegatum variegatum except has gray primary and secondary feathers along with gray outer rectrices.
