A huge distinctive honeyeater of high montane forests and shrubbery. Plump shape and almost entirely black with large orange wattles on the head and orange wing feathers which are very obvious in flight. A territorial and fruit-eating species that is very obvious and easy to see. Smoky Honeyeaters have a similar color scheme but are much smaller. Call is a quiet, fairly high-pitch “cheeep!” note that sounds like it should come from a smaller bird. Also, a series of quicker “chip” notes.
