All the Myiarchus flycatchers share a similar shape, with varying degrees of head crest, gray in the breast, yellow on the belly, and rufous coloring in the tail. Using Ash-throated Flycatcher for comparison because Brown-crested shares limited portions of the same range, Brown-crested is bulkier, with a stouter, longer bill, and more yellow on the belly.
