The tail is shorter than that of other fairywrens. The bill is black, and the feet and eyes are black or dark brown. The females of M.a alboscapulatus and M.a naimii bear a pied plumage, with black upperparts contrasting with white shoulders and underparts.
The preferred habitats of the white-shouldered fairywren are lowland cleared areas; grassland, village gardens, and cane-grass.
