Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as moderately common in degraded forest, especially on small islands and hills to at least 700 m (Gibbs et al. 2001, Dutson 2011). Buckingham et al. (1990) recorded 15 contacts per km² in old-growth lowland forest, 7.9 in old-growth hill forest and 4.0 in coconuts and secondary forest. The species is likely more common in mosaics of forest and gardens and certainly exceeds 10,000 mature individuals (G. Dutson in litt. 2023).

Trend justification: Forest loss is low in this species' range, amounting to 4-5% in the three generations to 2021 (Global Forest Watch 2022, based on data from Hansen et al. [2013] and methods disclosed therein). It is described as locally tolerant of forest degradation (Dutson 2011) and may even select disturbed habitats, with the species occurring in secondary forest, garden and mixed Cocoa plantations rather than primary forest (Davies et al. 2015). As such, forest loss is unlikely to be causing declines and the population trend is suspected to be stable overall.
