Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Richardson and Leo E. Miller. The species is considered monotypic by The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, but the IOC World Bird List recognizes two subspecies: D. g. gloriosissima (Chapman 1912) – Western Andes, west of Popayán, Cauca Department
