Population justification: The population size of this species has not been estimated, although it is described as uncommon (Eaton et al. 2021) but is frequently encountered in forest blocks across Java (Squires et al. 2021, eBird 2022), including in small, isolated patches (Dewi and Kurnianto 2021).

Trend justification: Historically this species has undoubtedly declined substantially, with forest cover on Java having been reduced by more than 85% since pre-exploitation. However, over the past 20 years, there has been little-to-no forest loss on Java (Global Forest Watch 2022, based on data from Hansen et al. [2013] and methods disclosed therein) and most remaining substantial patches lie partly or wholly in protected areas (UNEP-WCMC and IUCN 2022). The species is very occasionally captured for the bird trade (see, e.g., Chng et al. 2018) and this may be causing very slow declines.
