A stripe of white that begins over the lores and continues as a supercilium to the nape gives the species its eponymous white brow. Their upperparts, wings, and tail are olive. Their throat is white with a black band below it. Their breast and belly are whitish or pale gray and their flanks are gray with an olive tinge. Voice: The white-browed brushfinch's song is "a series of high-pitched whistles lasting ca 3 s, e.g. pze-zee-psee zaa sweee". It also sometimes sings a longer and more complex song.
