Foa’s red colobus is a monkey recorded in montane and submontane forests of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.
A Foa’s red colobus profile describes a red crown, a black-gray face, a black back, a whitish chest, and reddish-brown limbs.
The 2020 IUCN assessment places it in primary montane and submontane forest from 800 to 2,270 m. Itombwe records are restricted to evergreen closed forest; in Kabobo it also occurs in adjoining gallery forest on the escarpment above Lake Tanganyika.
