A mostly uniform grayish-brown honeyeater with a slightly lighter gray throat and underside and difficult-to-observe slight mottling on the forehead and crown. Restricted to primary montane forest, especially with areas of bamboo, above 700 meters of elevation. Similar to female Red-capped Myzomela, but larger and much paler above, and not as olive-green below. Voice includes a sequence of 4-5 whistled notes rising and falling, and raspy “chhht” notes.
