However, the common sawtooth-necked bronzeback has slight differences from the typical Wall's bronzeback.

It can be distinguished from other species from its thick black stripe behind the eye. The broad black streak is relatively broad on the head and runs from behind the eyes, continues as a broad bar on the neck where it breaks up incompletely. This splitting gives rise to a saw-toothed pattern, the reason for its common name as well as its specific epithet,
