This species is slate-grey overall.
The forehead and lores are blackish with a bare red crown and a white streak extending from behind the eyes to the upper back.
The overall colour is darkest on the back and rump and palest on the breast and wings.
The primaries, the tips of secondaries, the alula, the tip of the tail, and the edges of upper tail coverts are all black and the greater coverts droop into explosive plumes.
This combination of colouration ultimately distinguishes it from similar species in Asia, like the Hooded and Black-necked Cranes.
The juvenile has yellowish-brown tips to its body feathers and lacks the drooping wing feathers and the bright neck pattern of the adult, and has a fully feathered crown.
Every two years, before migration, the adult Common Crane undergoes a complete moult, remaining flightless for six weeks, until the new feathers grow.
