Mousy gray brown above, creamy below, with white-speckled black crown, yellowish brow, red spot above the stubby bill, and pale eye. Note prominent yellow wing panel, unique among pardalote species. Compare Striated Pardalote, which has a streaked crown, no yellow wing panel, and a yellow spot behind the eye.
