Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified. The species has been described as locally common however (Pratt and Beehler 2015), although it is difficult to find even in suitable habitat. There are few records due to the inaccessibility of its habitat and targeted surveys are urgently required.
Trend justification: There are no data on population trends, and the lack of records are likely a reflection of the difficulty of visiting its remote habitat. However, recent records and accounts from the more accessible Puncak Trikora do not suggest that the species has become substantially more difficult to find (Chaplin and McKay 2017, Gallardy 2017, eBird 2023). The population trend is considered to be unknown overall.
