Population justification: The population size has not been estimated, but the species is widespread and described as common in India (Western Ghats), moderately common in Sulawesi, uncommon in the Philippines, rare in Java and Burma and scarce in Nepal (del Hoyo et al. 1994).

Trend justification: The population is inferred to be undergoing a moderately rapid decline due to forest loss and fragmentation (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001, Tracewski et al. 2016).
