Population justification: The population size of this species has not been quantified; it is considered fairly common to locally common (Eaton et al. 2021, eBird 2022).

Trend justification: Studies have revealed marked declines in density of this species following forest logging activities (del Hoyo et al. 2003). Remote sensing data indicate that in the three generations (12.6 years; Bird et al. 2020) to 2021, forest cover in this species' range was reduced by c.25% (Global Forest Watch 2022, based on data from Hansen et al. 2013 and methods disclosed therein). Although this species is tolerant of some degraded habitat, including overgrown plantations, this figure is thought to be broadly representative of the reduction in population size over the last three generations (set here to 20-29%). The same rate of reduction is suspected to occur in the future, with little sign of Sundaic lowland forest loss abating.
