Barred eagle-owls have a body length of 15 to 18 inches.  The top of the body is charcoal grey with dark bars. The underside of the body is whitish and brown striped, with the breast slightly darker than the belly. The legs are feathered. The eyes are dark brown, which combined with the dark face and large, often slanting sideways ear tufts, give the bird a striking appearance<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/science/grrlscientist/2012/mar/24/7</ref>. Within its range it can be confused with the earless [[brown wood owl]] (''Strix leptogrammica'').  Juvenile birds are whitish in color, with grey primaries and fine tan bars all over.

Due to close similarities there is some confusion as to whether the subspecies ''B. s. strepitans'' and ''B. s. tenuifasciatus'' should be considered a single subspecies<ref>https://avibase.bsc-eoc.org/species.jsp?avibaseid=D84BD94BB476590A</ref>.
