Data Zone
Justification of Red List category
This species has a moderately large range, within which it is described as common to frequent hence there is no reason to suspect a small population size. The population trend appears to be stable, and no severe threats have been identified. Accordingly the species is assessed as Least Concern.
Population justification
The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be common to locally frequent (del Hoyo et al. 2002). The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats. This species' population in Laos is considered to be of high importance globally, with trends in this country (low to negligible) similar to those found in the species' previous global assessment (Timmins et al. 2024). This species is considered to have a high dependency on forest habitat, which is estimated to be declining at a slow rate (Global Forest Watch 2024).
Trend justification
The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
Resident in montane evergreen forest in south east Lao PDR and south Viet Nam.
