Justification of Red List category
This species is restricted to the islands of Biak-Supiori, Owi, Numfor and Rani, so may have a relatively small population, but there are insufficient data to quantify its population size. The population is suspected to be declining due to an ongoing slow rate of forest cover loss. The small range indicates that the species may be at risk, although the population is not severely fragmented. Forest loss is ongoing, hence a continuing decline in the area, extent or quality of habitat is estimated. Accordingly, Biak Flycatcher is assessed as Near Threatened.
