This adult male was netted in February 2008 during a bird survey of Mount Tshiaberimu, an annex of the Virunga National Park in DR Congo. Mount Tshiaberimu is known to host a number of species endemic to the Albertine Rift and the Gorilla Organization has been steadily surveying these as an important extension of its ongoing work to protect a small, unique population of gorillas in conjunction with ICCN, the Congolese wildlife authority.
