The many-colored rush tyrant is a small bird, 11–11.5 cm (4.3–4.5 in) in length. As the bird's name suggests, the plumage is very colourful.

The face is dark blue-grey, there is a yellow stripe over the eye and the crown is dark with a red patch that is often concealed. The wings and tail are dark with a white wingbar and white outer tail-feathers. Females are duller than the males.
