Adults are gray overall; during breeding, the plumage is usually much worn and stained, particularly in the migratory populations.
They have a red forehead, white cheeks and a long dark pointed bill. They have long dark legs which trail behind in flight and a long neck that is kept straight in flight. Immature birds have reddish brown upperparts and gray underparts.
