Adults of the nominate subspecies have a mostly gray head with a blackish gray stripe in the middle of the crown, a white stripe above the lores, a thin black line through the eye, white crescents above and below the eye, and whitish cheeks. Their upperparts, wings, and tail are olive-green. Their throat and underparts are mostly whitish with a gray wash on the sides of the breast, an olive wash on the upper flanks, and pale olivaceous-yellow undertail coverts. Voice: The white-rimmed warbler's song is a "fairly long series of fee notes, which start at extr. high level and then descend very steeply to 5 notes lower. Its call is "a sharp penetrating pseeyk".
