The female has olive-brown upperparts, white eyebrow lines, brown cheeks, light eye circles, dark ochre brown underparts, lighter abdomen, and yellowish undertail feathers. It is distinguished from the chestnut-bellied singing plover and the brown-breasted blue [Ji] Grebe in that it is large in size and has a wide eyebrow. Males of the subspecies indicus sometimes have brownish breeding periods, resembling female body feathers. The male of the subspecies forspecies morphologus has a yellow-olive crown and an olive-brown underbody. Iris - dark brown; mouth - near black; feet - gray brown.
