The Singing Honeyeater has a gray-brown back, a pale streaked underside, and a black facial mask edged below in yellow. It searches low in shrubs and trees for insects, nectar, and other foods.
Its bill curves slightly downward. The upperparts are gray-brown, and the off-white underside is streaked with brown. A black band runs from the bill across the eye and ear to the shoulder, with a yellow lower edge.
It feeds on insects, spiders, fruit, and nectar, and forages lower than other honeyeaters. Its habitats include shrubland, woodland, and other open wooded areas, especially those dominated by Acacia.
