A large and long-billed sunbird in which males are colorful, green and red, and females drab brownish. Males have yellow shoulder tufts that are usually hidden. Found very locally in the southeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, in montane forest, forest edge, and scrub. Separated from similar sunbirds by habitat and range. The calls are poorly known, but the song is a typical quick jumble of high-pitched notes.
