Population justification: This species is confined to a very small area of montane forest above 1,100 m (Eaton et al. 2016, Clement 2020), comprising no more than 200 km² of suitable habitat (per Global Forest Watch 2023). Therein it is a scarce species of the forest interior and is absent from forest edge or small forest patches (Eaton et al. 2016, J. Eaton in litt. 2021, A. Berryman pers. obs.). Direct population densities for the species are lacking, although at 30 eight-minute point counts in 2020 (all in suitable habitat), it was detected at only six (A. Berryman pers. obs.). Detectability was assumed to be high, since at the end of each point count, when playback was used, no more individuals were observed. Assuming 4/40 represents an approximate degree of occupancy, and the species (mature individuals) was detectable up to c.50 m range, this suggests a combined occupancy/density of 12.5 mature individuals/km². This is similar to estimations of 30-66 (not necessarily mature) individuals/km² for congeners (Santini et al. 2018) noting that the latter's data do not account for occupancy. Applying the data derived herein to the area of suitable habitat (150-190 km² depending on the assumptions used), the population is estimated at 1,800-2,470, rounded here to 1,800-2,500 mature individuals. Nonetheless, the data deriving these estimates is poor and in urgent need of confirmation with larger sampling, particularly on Lompobattang's southern and eastern flanks where few have visited in recent years.

Trend justification: Moderate declines of 5-15% are suspected to occur in 10 years in response to ongoing forest loss and degradation, and forest loss data for recent years suggest this may be slowly accelerating as access to higher elevations improves (Global Forest Watch 2023, based on data from Hansen et al. [2013] and methods disclosed therein). This species is highly dependent on forest interior (Eaton et al. 2021, A. Berryman pers. obs.) and it is therefore predicted to decline at a rate greater than forest loss alone.
