Justification of Red List category
This species is suspected of having a relatively small population size comprised of many isolated subpopulations. The population trend is difficult to determine, but is precautionarily assumed to be declining because of ongoing habitat loss and degradation (especially on Sumatra). Its use of montane forest, however, buffers it from the most rapid losses of Sundaic forest. Accordingly it is listed as Near Threatened.

Population trend: decreasing
