The rose-collared piha is monotypic. The rose-collared piha is 20 to 22 cm (7.9 to 8.7 in) long. The species is sexually dimorphic, which is uncommon among Lipaugus cotingas.

The male's plumage is unique. Females resemble the screaming piha (Lipaugus vociferans), which has the same two-toned gray plumage but with entirely pale gray underparts.
