This small bird is found on the northwestern coast of Western Australia. In the Pilbara it is recorded only in mangroves, where it gleans insects from leaves and flowers.
Adults have a white supercilium and white breast, with a dark bill and a cream-to-white iris. The ABSA account reports no plumage difference between the sexes.
In the Pilbara it is confined to mangroves and favors forests of Rhizophora and Avicennia. It moves through the outer canopy, gleaning insects from leaves and flowers and sometimes hovering beside flowers.
