Population justification: The population size of this species has not been quantified. However, it is typically described as common or uncommon (Wells 1999, Mann 2008, Eaton et al. 2016) and in Sarawak, Borneo, a density of 20 birds/km2 was recorded (Fogden 1976). Consequently, although the population size has not been estimated, it is not considered likely to meet or approach the threshold for listing as Threatened (<10,000 mature individuals).
Trend justification: Suspected to be declining because of forest loss throughout its range. Over the past three generations (12.3 years; Bird et al. 2020), forest loss in this species' range has been equivalent to 23-25% (Global Forest Watch 2022, using data from Hansen et al. [2013] and methods disclosed therein). Because this rate was similar between 2016 and 2020, with little indication this will slow in the future, the same rate is projected over the next three generations. As a forest-dependent species, the population is suspected to be declining at a rate broadly similar to that of forest loss.
