Identification
A slender, plain slate-gray apalis with red-brown eyes, a pale belly, and a white-tipped tail; female is paler than the male. Juvenile more greenish-yellow than adult. One of Africa’s most poorly known birds, restricted to the Kabobo highlands in Democratic Republic of Congo, where it is resident in the canopy of tall montane forest between 1600 and 2500 meters of elevation. The voice is uncertain, but reported to be a dry buzzy trill like that of Chestnut-throated Apalis. The similar Gray Apalis differs from Kabobo in having a white, not gray, throat.
