Justification of Red List category
This species qualifies as Endangered because of the rapid loss of plains-level forest in Peninsular Malaysia (which shows no signs of slowing), on which this species is dependent. Its population is becoming increasingly fragmented, leaving it vulnerable to extinction debt processes and increasing access to forest for hunters.

Population size: unknown

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 102,000 km²
