Habitat

Inhabits montane primary forests, showing a preference for the forest edge, near clearings or open fields (3), between 1,760 and 2,480 meters (2). There appears to be some differences between the D.R.C. and Uganda populations; in the D.R.C it favours the upper branches of tall trees, while in Uganda it is more frequently found in the forest understorey (2).
