Population justification: The population size has been estimated to be as low as a few hundred pairs (Collar and van Balen 2002); however, it is easily overlooked, and there is still extensive forest east of Cibodas/Halimun that remains to be surveyed, thus it may be more common and widespread than recent observations suggest (B. van Balen in litt. 2013). Ornithological surveys across 27 sites on nine mountains in West-Central Java between 2018 and 2020 found the species at 20 sites and 7 mountains with a mean encounter rate of 0.32 groups/hour (C. Devenish, A.R. Junaid and S. Marsden in litt. 2020). It therefore seems likely that considerably more than 250 mature individuals occupy each of the large areas of forest at Gunung Gede and Halimun (C. Robson in litt. 2013). The species's population is therefore placed in the band for 2,500-9,999 mature individuals.

Trend justification: Although much of the population may be present across protected and non-protected areas on Java (A. Ridha in litt 2020), and forest loss has slowed to 1-3% (Tracewski etal. 2016, Global Forest Watch 2020) over three generations (14.4 years; Bird et al. 2020), it is nonetheless suspected to be continuing to decline at a moderate rate, owing to the on-going encroachment of forests by agriculture and urban development, as well as possible trapping pressure (A. A. Supriatna in litt. 2012, N. Brickle in litt 2012, B. van Balen in litt. 2013). Thus, the overall population is considered to be declining at a rate of 1-9% over three generations.
