Justification of Red List category
This species is known only from three specimens and there are no confirmed field records. There is no information on its likely distribution extent, population size or trends. Data are therefore inadequate to determine a threat category, with plausible categories ranging from CR to LC. Additionally, its taxonomic status is uncertain and it may warrant subsuming into Uniform Swiftlet A. vanikorensis. For these reasons, it is classified as Data Deficient.
