Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as common throughout its range and abundant in lowland and mid-altitude areas of Borneo (del Hoyo et al. 2005). The population is suspected to be increasing rapidly as this species benefits from deforestation and the creation of artificial habitats (del Hoyo et al. 2005).

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be increasing rapidly as this species benefits from deforestation and the creation of artificial habitats (del Hoyo et al. 2005).
