Population justification: The population size has not been estimated; however, this species is common in suitable habitat (Cheke et al. 2001, Allen 2020) and appears tolerant of second growth where in close proximity to forest. Approximately 2,200 km² of forest is estimated to be left in its range (Global Forest Watch [2021], using Hansen et al. [2013] and the methods disclosed therein). The density of congeners varies hugely, however generally exceeds 100 birds/km² such that it is considered extremely unlikely the population size of this species is close to, or below, 10,000 mature individuals.

Trend justification: While this species has undoubtedly lost substantial areas of habitat in its range in the past (especially on Negros, where almost all forest below 1,000 m was cleared by the 20th century), recent remote sensing data (Global Forest Watch [2021], using Hansen et al. [2013] and the methods disclosed therein) indicate that over the past 10 years, forest loss in this species' range has been c.2.0-3.2%, which is too slow to infer a continuing decline, especially considering this species' tolerance of habitat degradation (Allen 2020). In the absence of any additional threats, this species is suspected to be stable.
