É unha especie case inconfundible na maior parte da súa área de distribución. O paxaro en idade reprodutora é todo branco agás nas súas patas e face, que son vermellas, e o longo e espatulado peteiro. Non ten crista, a diferenza do cullereiro ''[[Platalea leucorodia]]''. As aves inmaturas non teñen a cara vermella e o seu pico é amarelo. A diferenza das garzas, os cullereiros voan cos pescozos estendidos.
