The Naked-faced Spiderhunter is a small to medium-sized passerine bird with a long, downward curved bill. The plumage is predominantly olive green, pale yellow on the abdomen, with olive yellow on the wings and faint streaking on the breast. A characteristic feature is a bare orange patch of skin from the bridge of the bill, which gives the species its name.
