The little wattlebird is a medium to large honeyeater, but the smallest wattlebird. [7] The appearance is similar to the yellow wattlebird and the red wattlebird. [8] The little wattlebird lacks the wattles, which characterise other members of the genus. Juveniles are duller with less streaking and have a browner eye.
