The Barbuda warbler is 12 to 13.5 cm (4.7 to 5.3 in) long and weighs 5.3 to 8 g (0.19 to 0.28 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a slightly yellow forehead, a mouse gray crown, dark lores, a wide yellow supercilium to just behind the eye, a yellow arc below the eye, and mouse gray ear coverts. Their back is light gray with a brownish tinge and their rump and uppertail coverts are mouse gray. Their wings are mostly black with thin gray edges on the flight feathers and gray tips on the greater coverts that show as a dusky wing bar. Their tail is black. The outermost three feathers have thin white edges and a large white spot near the end. Their cheeks, chin, throat, and breast are lemon yellow and their belly and undertail coverts white. Both sexes have a dark iris, a blackish bill, and dark grayish pink legs and feet.
