Justification of Red List category
This species has a moderately large range, and although the population has not been quantified it is also suspected to greatly exceed threatened thresholds. The population is thought to be stable, hence it is not believed to approach any threatened thresholds. For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
Population justification
The global population size has not been quantified, but the pre-split species is reported to be fairly common to abundant (Harrap and Quinn 1996). The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats. This species' population in Laos is considered to be of high importance globally, with trends in this country (low to negligible) similar to those found in the species' previous global assessment (Timmins et al. 2024). This species is considered to have a medium dependency on forest habitat, which is estimated to be declining at a slow rate (Global Forest Watch 2024).
Trend justification
The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
Occurs in southern Viet Nam, eastern Cambodia and southern Lao PDR.
