The Chukar is a rotund 32–35 cm long bird, with a light brown back, grey breast, and buff belly. The face is white with a black gorget. It has Rufous-streaked flanks and red legs. When disturbed, it prefers to run rather than fly, but if necessary it flies a short distance on rounded wings.
It is very similar to the Rock Partridge, Alectoris graeca, but is browner on the back and has a yellowish tinge to the fore neck. The sharply defined gorget distinguishes this species from the Red-legged Partridge.
