Justification of Red List category
Otus umbra has a very small range, occupying a single island in Indonesia. However, there are no known acting threats, and the species is evidently tolerant of forest degradation (which is however minimal), such that the population is assumed to be stable. Accordingly, it is listed as Least Concern, although remote sensing data should continue to be monitored.
