The black-necked red cotinga is 22 to 24 cm (8.7 to 9.4 in) long and weighs about 93 g (3.3 oz). The sexes have different plumage. Adults have distinctive forehead feathers that project forward, partially concealing the nostrils, and prominent bristles around the base of the bill. Adult males have a red to rosy red crown on an otherwise glossy blackish head and neck. Their back is also glossy blackish and their rump and uppertail coverts red to rosy red. Their wings are glossy blackish. Their tail is red to rosy red with a black bar across the end. Their underparts are red to rosy red. Voice: Male black-necked red cotingas give "a loud whea, often preceded by soft wur". During the display flight they also make the whea "immediately preceded by whistling wing noise". The call has also been described as "an explosive skeéyh!, sometimes in series". Both sexes also make the call while foraging.
