Justification of Red List category
Once common and widespread, this species is now becoming increasingly targeted for the Asian Songbird Trade. Dramatic declines have been reported locally, but it is difficult to quantify overall declines. However, they could potentially approach 30% over three generations. Therefore, the species is precautionarily listed as Near Threatened.
