I feel the snake is too thick-set for a Thelotornis. The pale chin, large eye and dark mark on the neck are often seen in Boomslang |

I agree that this snake is too robust for a Thelotornis, and colouration matches Dispholidus rather than Thelotornis. Based on Eimermacher (2012), the subspecies here should be D. kivuensis. |
