The black-browed barbet has broad black supercilium and malar stripe, pale yellow crown, red hind crown and its ears hidden. It has bright yellow throat together with red patch on the sides of its neck and blue upper breast. It also has pale greenish orbital skin and blackish, short and stubby bill.
