It is found near water in forest, scrub and mangrove in the Central African countries of Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Gabon. It is part of the violet-backed sunbird superspecies.
The mangrove sunbird or mouse-brown sunbird is a species of bird in the family Nectariniidae. Its range covers areas near the Gulf of Guinea, from Senegal to northwestern Angola.
The western violet-backed sunbird or Longuemare's sunbird is a species of bird in the family Nectariniidae.

Nectarinia is a genus of birds in the sunbird family, Nectariniidae. What species belong to it has been highly contentious for many decades. Towards the late 20th century, the dominant trend was to use it to group all "typical" sunbirds.
