Population justification: The species is described as common in many areas and has a number of large subpopulations, with totals of 23-63 records per square kilometer recorded in most forest types on Kolombangara (Buckingham et al. 1995).
Trend justification: The population trend is difficult to determine because of uncertainty over the impacts of habitat modification on population sizes.
