A fairly large honeyeater of upper montane and subalpine forest and shrubbery. Overall olive color, light streaking with paler grayish belly and yellow legs. Distinctive yellow-orange cheek bordered with a thin black line. Often perches out prominently. Somewhat similar to Black-throated Honeyeater, but Orange-cheeked Honeyeater is larger, paler, has a different shape of yellow on the face and lacks the white neck spot. Voice, a loud, double-note “pwidip!” and a descending, squeaky song of whistled notes mixed with a loud “chuitt!”.
