Differences in plumage, namely the presence or absence of two very long tail feathers, are observed among several well-preserved specimens of Confuciusornis sanctus. The postacetabular wing of the ilium is much shorter than the preacetabular wing. The wing elements are short, and proportions among individual bones are primitive in that the hand is longer than either the humerus or the ulna and the ulna is shorter than the humerus. A complete basket of gastralia follows the sternum caudally. The furculae are robust and boomerang shaped. The coracoids are strutlike but much shorter than the scapulae. Scapulae and coracoids are fused to form scapulocoracoids. Both species have abbreviated tails with long pygostyles, not the long, bony tail originally reconstructed in Confuciusornis sanctus. Although the postorbital region is not preserved in Changchengornis hengdaoziensis, it likely resembles that of Confuciusornis sanctus. Furthermore, a robust jugal-postorbital contact completely separates the infratemporal fenestra from the orbit. It possesses a triradiate postorbital that with the squamosal forms a complete supratemporal arcade. The skull of Confuciusornis sanctus is of typical diapsid plan. Confuciusornis sanctus and Changchengornis hengdaoziensis have toothless, beaked skulls (the tomial crest is straight in the former species and strongly curved in the latter) and retain the dorsal portion of the nasal process of the maxilla.
