The barred owl (Strix uralensis) is a fairly large bird in the family of owls (Strigidae). The species is smaller than the related lapland owl, but much larger than the also related tawny owl. This owl is 50 to 62 cm long and has a wingspan of 124 to 134 cm. The female is on average larger and heavier (0.57 to 1.3 kilograms) than the male (0.5 to 0.95 kilograms). It is a medium-sized owl, larger than the tawny owl but smaller than the lapland owl. The owl is relatively light in color, with a large round head and dark eyes giving the impression of a "friendly face". The wings lack a distinct pattern as in the lapland owl which has light patches. The flight is powerful and purposeful, resembling that of the buzzard. The tail is quite long, wedge-shaped and evenly banded. The subspecies do not differ much in plumage between them.
