Population justification: The population size of this species has not been estimated. A total of c.55,000 km² of forest (Global Forest Watch 2022) remains in its range, such that even if only a small portion of this is occupied, the population size is unlikely to be small, and it appears to be regularly encountered (Radinal et al. 2019, eBird 2022).

Trend justification: The main threats of hunting pressure and habitat loss from logging and agricultural encroachment are thought to be causing moderate population declines. Remote sensing data (Global Forest Watch 2022, using data from Hansen et al. [2013] and methods disclosed therein) suggest that forest loss in this species' range over the past three generations (23 years; Bird et al. 2020) has been equivalent to 10-15% (depending on the thresholds set). This species is suspected of being hunted (e.g. Shepherd 2006), including in protected areas, although no data are available to estimate what rate of decline this may be adding. Precautionarily, the summed rate of decline is suspected of being 15-25% over three generations.
