Description
Размерами и внешностью сходна с европейской малой мухоловкой (Ficedula parva), подвидом которой раньше считалась. У самцов albicilla рыжее пятно спереди небольшое, только на горле, и окаймлено снизу серой полоской. Самки очень похожи. В отличие от самки европейской малой мухоловки, у которой на основании подклювья есть желтый цвет, у восточной клюв полностью черный. Кроме того, у европейской на нижней стороне тела более выражены охристые тона, восточная снизу более светлая, беловатая.
