The specialist encyclopedia describes variable coat colors and brown hair bases that create a speckled appearance. Records are from moist forest and streamside vegetation in eastern DR Congo.
The account lists buffy, fawn, brown, gray, or black coats; brown hair bases give the underparts a speckled effect.
The account places it in moist forest or scrub and dense vegetation beside mountain streams, usually solitary outside the breeding season. It eats mainly insects, sometimes small birds or mammals.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
