It appeared to be quite bird-like, like its close relatives Caudipteryx, Oviraptor and Protarchaeopteryx. It was probably covered with feathers, and its tail had a fan-like mass of tail feathers. It was a medium-sized dinosaur that Gregory S. Paul estimated at 1.7 meters in length and 20 kilograms in weight. It had sporting beak-like jaws and probably a crest used for display.
