Justification of Red List category
This species has a very large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (extent of occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). Despite the fact that the population trend is suspected of decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size is unknown, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
Population justification
The population size of this species has not been estimated but its range spans a vast area wherein it is quite common (eBird 2022).
Trend justification
The population is precautionarily suspected of declining. Although this species is tolerant of habitat degradation, it may be impacted by ongoing forest cover loss in the Lesser Sundas (Global Forest Watch 2022, based on data from Hansen et al. [2013] and methods disclosed therein).
