Justification of Red List category
This poorly known species was described as recently as 2022, following its discovery in the Meratus Mountains, to which it is endemic, in 2015. Despite its small range, it is generally described as common in available forest. The only identified threats to the species are forest loss and perhaps capture for the Indonesian songbird trade, which may be causing very slow rates of decline. It is listed as Near Threatened.

Population size: unknown

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 15,500 km²
