Justification of Red List category
This highly forest-dependent species is confined to the small island of Damar where there is ongoing habitat loss and degradation noted to be causing the loss of previously occupied territories. The population is inferred to be undergoing a continuing decline which, in conjunction with the very small range means the species approaches thresholds for listing as threatened. It is therefore assessed as Near Threatened.

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 270 km²
