Adults of the nominate subspecies have a light blue-gray forehead and forecrown that darkens on the hindcrown and nape; the crown has a slight crest and slightly darker center feathers that give a streaked appearance. Their face is otherwise a slightly paler gray. Their back is light olive-green and separated from the nape by a light gray "collar". The collar is unique among Myiarchus. Voice: The sooty-crowned flycatcher's song is a whistled note combined with "low burry tr-ret notes"; another song is "a descending wheeé-deee-deee-de-du-du". Its primary call is "a querulous freeee? or whreee?".
