The striped honeyeater is a medium-sized honeyeater with a body length of 22–25 cm (8.7–9.8 in), a wingspan of 28–36 cm (11–14 in), and an average weight of 40 g (1.4 oz). The upper parts are generally light greyish brown with dark brown centres to the feathers, giving the appearance of stripes. These stripes are marked on the head and nape, less distinct on the rump and almost absent from the upper tail coverts. The underparts are whitish with faint streaks on the belly. The feathers of the upper breast and throat are long and pointed, giving the head a spiky appearance.
