Justification of Red List category
This species, endemic to Java and Bali (Indonesia), is listed as Vulnerable. It is considered to be threatened with extinction because of capture for the cagebird trade, the only identified threat, which is suspected of having driven declines of c. 30–49% over the past ten years (2013–2023). This threat has driven even more severe declines in other species on Java, such that rates of decline must be urgently monitored.
