It is small and 'rather dumpy' at 10 cm long and around 11g weight. Its upperparts are plain brown, with the only facial marking being an indistinct narrow eye-ring. The chin is plain pale grey, and the rest of the underparts are grey-brown with indistinct streaks. The short, straight, laterally flattened bill is black, the legs and feet are grey, the tail short and the eyes brown. Sexes are 
similar, but the juvenile is spotted with buff above, and is whitish spotted with brown below.
This species is similar to the common migrant, the spotted flycatcher, Muscicapa striata, but is smaller and darker, especially on the underparts, than that species.The spotted flycatcher also has a streaked forehead, not seen on the African dusky flycatcher.
