Justification of Red List category
This species has a small range, confined to to just seven islands in the central Nicobar Island group. Within its limited range, slow rates of forest loss are ongoing and thought to be causing declines. Nonetheless, it remains common and much of its range is at least nominally protected. For these reasons it is listed as Near Threatened.

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 3,100 km²
