Population justification: The population size of this species has not been quantified and such an effort is greatly hampered by its elusive behaviour and imperfectly known distribution. However, there is a very large amount of suitable habitat within its mapped range and at some sites subject to intensive survey effort (including mist-netting), it has proven locally common (Freeman and Freeman 2014, Beehler and Pratt 2016, Marki et al. 2016).

Trend justification: There are no direct population trends for this species. Its range encompasses some of the most remote regions of New Guinea and, according to remote sensing data (Global Forest Watch 2022, using data and methods from Hansen et al. [2013]) forest loss in its range is minimal (<1% in the three generations to 2021). In the absence of other known threats, its population is therefore suspected to be stable.
