Males have yellow underparts and head. The upperparts are duller, darker and greenish. Females are overall duller, with most of the underparts whitish. The lores, eye-ring and long decurved bill are blackish. It is {{convert|5.5|in|cm}} long.

The last sightings - both on ] and ] - were in 1998, though it is possible some of the sighting in the 1990s actually involve the ]. Later sightings remain unconfirmed. Recent surveys have failed to locate the species and the ] concluded that it in all probability is extinct or functionally extinct. ] (and thereby ]) have chosen to retain its status as critically endangered until additional surveys have confirmed its extinction beyond reasonable doubts. As several other Hawaiian honeycreeper, the decline of the Nukupu{{okina}}u is connected to habitat loss (both due to man and ]s), introduced predators and disease-carrying ]es.

The Nukupu{{okina}}u is one of the species a project of the East Maui Watershed has been aimed at. Other birds from this area included the ] and the ]. The project involved fencing in the area and eradicating introduced predators. The entire project took out 22 ] ]s, 209 ], 1,596 ]s, 1,205 ]s, and 1,948 ]. On Kaua{{okina}}i, comparable projects exists around the Koai{{okina}}e Stream.
