Trioceros hoehnelii alteaalgonis is not considered a valid subspecies as there is continuous gene flow between the small, higher elevation form (which had been referred to as "alteaalgonis") and the larger, lower elevation form on Mount Elgon. As a result, they are all simply considered Trioceros hoehnelii, without any subspecies designation.

Trioceros hoehnelii alteaalgonis

Is this one from Uganda or Kenia?

Can you post photos of it in resting coloration (not dark and stressed)? Would help verify for sure.
