==Description==
A moderately-large owl, buffy fish-owls are are brown throughout; dark brown above, lighter rufus-brown below. Primaries and secondaries are banded with white, with some spotting on the leading edge of the wings. Dark shaft-streaking is present on the chest, but less-so on the belly. The ear tufts are large, and splayed outward to the side. In keeping with its fishing habits, the yellow-gray tarsi and feet are unfeathered.

Some authorities place it within the genus ''Ketupa'', its original designation. Debate still occurs as to whether it is a fishing owl or an eagle owl of the genus ''Bubo''.
