Based on the specimens, the white-breasted tapaculo is 11 cm (4.3 in) long. One male weighed 17.5 g (0.62 oz) and one female18 g (0.63 oz). The adult's upper parts are blue-gray and its rump reddish brown. The throat, chest, and belly are white and the flanks and vent area are chestnut without the barring that the very similar white-breasted tapaculo has.
