The upperparts are grey, paler on the head and neck; the wings are dark; the underparts are mainly white; the cere and legs are red-orange.

It has been recorded from Saibai Island, Queensland, an Australian territory in the north-western Torres Strait.

This species nests in tall trees on a platform of sticks and leaves.
