Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be not as common as the Vanikoro flycatcher but quite regularly observed in suitable habitats (Watling 2001).

Trend justification: This population is suspected to be in decline owing to the likelihood that deforestation is occurring (del Hoyo et al. 2006).
