Justification of Red List category
This species has a small range within which its small population is occurs patchily within a small total occupied area. Available habitat continues to be slowly lost and degraded primarily due to conversion for agriculture, timber extraction and the impacts of livestock on forest structure and regeneration. While the total population size is estimated to potentially fall below the threatened threshold the largest subpopulation exceeds one thousand mature individuals, and despite the small range there cannot be few locations in respect of the main threats. Accordingly Grey-headed Antbird is assessed as Near Threatened.
