Population justification: The global population size of this species has not previously been quantified, although it is generally described as uncommon (Eaton et al. 2021) but maintains healthy populations in many areas (see Trainor and Verbelen 2013, eBird 2022). In 2020, the area of tree cover, excluding plantations, in its range was estimated at c.16,000 km² (Global Forest Watch 2022, based on Hansen et al. 2013) and on Sumba, a density of 4.4 individuals/km² was recorded (Jones et al. 1995). Assuming an occupancy of 20-40%, the population is estimated at 14,000-28,000 individuals, roughly equating to 9,250-18,500 mature individuals. Recognising that this species is tolerant of degraded habitats (at least on some islands), the best estimate is set at 12,000-18,000 mature individuals.

Trend justification: Data trends on this species are lacking. However, ongoing forest loss (albeit at a comparatively slow rate) in its range is suspected of causing slow population declines. Over the past three generations (10.8 years; Bird et al. 2020), forest loss in this species' mapped range has been c.4-6% (Global Forest Watch 2022, using data from Hansen et al. [2013] and methods disclosed therein). This species is somewhat tolerant of degradation, however, and consequently tree cover loss is thought to be causing only slow declines.
