Description
Weighing around 6 grams (0.21 oz), the spotted pardalote is 8 to 10 centimetres (3.1 to 3.9 in) long. The adult male of the nominate subspecies has grey-brown upperparts with numerous paler buff spots, a black crown, wings and tail all with white spots, white eyebrows and reddish rump. The underparts are pale-buff-cinnamon, darkening to a more ochre at the breast, with a demarcated yellow throat and vent. The female is duller overall. The yellow-rumped subspecies is larger overall with a relatively smaller bill. The adult male has finer, white, spots on its back, a bright yellow rump, and a cream breast. The adult female has finer spots than the adult female of the nominate subspecies. The Wet Tropics subspecies is smaller with a relatively larger bill. The adult male has a reddish rump and pale- to cinnamon buff underparts.

Feeding Habits
Spotted Pardalote primarily feed on lerps and manna. They forage in eucalypt foliage, usually alone or in pairs, and may join larger flocks or mix with other species seasonally.
Habitat
The spotted Pardalote occupies a wide range of eucalypt-dominated habitats, from tall open forests where the canopy exceeds 30 meters to sparse woodlands with a canopy under 2 meters. Found in varied environments, including coastal regions, semi-arid zones, and even alpine areas exceeding 2000 meters, spotted Pardalote has a preference for places rich in eucalypts. While it has experienced population declines, particularly in urban settings, the species is currently not deemed endangered.
