The bicolored conebill is 11.4 cm long and weighs 11 g. The adult is grey-blue above and buff-tinged grey below, with red eyes, pink legs and a sharp, pointed bill.

Birds sometimes breed in immature plumage.

Feeding Habits
Bicolored Conebill's diet mainly consists of insects, supplemented by seeds. They typically forage in foliage and exhibit unique adaptations for such feeding habits. Bicolored Conebill is known for its distinct 'tseep' call during such activities.
Habitat
Bicolored Conebill typically inhabits coastal mangrove swamps and adjacent woodlands, thriving within this specific ecosystem up to approximately 100 meters above sea level. Carefully constructing nests in mangrove trees, this species' ranges extend to flooded forests near mangroves, especially where there are younger successional stages of shrub-like vegetation along river islands and banks. While these regions span broadly, bicolored Conebill demonstrates distinct habitat preferences, avoiding areas where certain warbler species coexist, thus indicating a nuanced aspect of its habitat selection influenced possibly by competition.
