The blackish chat-tyrant is about 12 cm (4.7 in) long. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults are almost entirely slate black with the exception of a white streak from above the lores to behind the eye. They have a dark brown or blackish iris, a short, thin, black bill, and blackish to dark dusky gray legs and feet. Juveniles have a thinner white streak than adults, with a pale rufous wash on the upperparts and browner underparts. Voice: As of May 2025 xeno-canto had a single recording of a blackish chat-tyrant vocalization; the Cornell Lab's Macaulay Library had 13 others. Its voice is heard infrequently, a "rather loud, buzzy whistle, abrupt and slightly descending". It has been written as "tsEEeuw".
