This grey-green honeyeater has a yellow gape and searches the canopy for insects, fruit, and nectar.
The upperparts are pale grey-green, with a grey face and dark lores. The gape is yellow and the rictal streak yellow-white; the underparts are grey-white, with a yellowish chin and throat. The sexes look alike, with the male slightly larger.
It uses forest and forest edge, foothill montane forest, and monsoon rainforest on New Guinea. It forages in the canopy for insects and other arthropods, fruit, and nectar, alone or in small groups.
The bill is black to grey-brown.
