"This is the most widespread meadowhawk in the region. It is largely tan or gray, its face tan in young males and females ... The thorax has two oblique lateral white stripes, each with a distinct round yellow spot at its lower end."

While absent from the checklist of Odonana Central, the Variegated Meadowhawk does appear on the now discontinued checklist from USGS.
