Justification of Red List category
This species has a small range, in which it is thought to be quite common, but may have a very small population with a fragmented subpopulation structure. The forests of the interior of the Andaman Islands are coming under increasing pressure from agriculture and development schemes and this species is likely to decline concurrently. It is therefore listed as Vulnerable.

Population trend: Decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 19,600 km²
