Justification of Red List category
This Sulawesi endemic has a relatively large range, within which it is suspected to be undergoing a slow population decline due to ongoing loss and degradation of its forest habitat. Currently this rate of decline does not approach the thresholds for listing as threatened, but this should continue to be closely monitored, with forests on Sulawesi increasingly under pressure from settlements and large-scale logging operations. Presently, the species is considered Least Concern.
