Olive to brown with dark mottlings on its sides, fading to white or cream underneath. Fleshy barbels are dusky to black. It can easily be distinguished from the Black Bullhead by the lack of a light-colored bar at the base of the caudal (tail) fin and black coloration in the membrane between the rays (soft spines) of these fins. There are 20 to 24, usually 22-23, rays in the anal fin. The caudal fin is slightly notched. The teeth are in pads on both jaws and are used largely for tearing and pulling off pieces of their food.
