Primary forest, bird is in midstory. They are following a troupe of monkeys (Crowned monkey, agile mangabey). I did not know this call therefore made an effort to see it. It was only once that they sang their regular yodeling song (not in this recording), the rest was this simple call. Maybe its related to their presence with monkeys?	891841 xeno-canto.org
