The Little Owl is Thrush-sized bird. Color is brownish-grey or rusty-grey with numerous white and whitish spots and streaks. Eyes are yellow, “ears” are absent. It is resembles the Boreal Owl but is distinguished by the breeding range and by habitat; has not so loose plumage therefore looks smaller; “face” is ellipse-shaped; white streaks on the head are long; toes are feathered only on base. The Little Owl may be observed in one country with the Eurasian Scops-Owl; from this bird it is distinguished by the absence of “ears” and cross pattern; by the “flat” head and ellipse-shaped “face”. Males and females are similar on color, but female is slightly larger. Juveniles more resemble adults than on other Owls; but still well distinguished by darker and plain brownish body color; streaks are faintly expressive. In September-October juveniles have the first adult plumage and are distinguished only by one contact feature: until May-June the flight feathers keep as on first plumage, they are soft and equable staled; adult birds have apparently different staled flight feathers on account of its piecemeal changing.
