Wikipedia: “Description and taxonomy”
Range & habitat
Its natural habitat is typically tropical moist montane forests above 1,000 meters above sea level throughout most of its range but it has been recorded as low as 450 masl in Enggano Island, Lombok and Sumbawa. This species has been assessed as IUCN Red List as Least-concern species. It is described rare in the Philippines, Bali and Java but is more common in Sumatra and Enggano Island. This species has a wide range and its preferrence for montane habitat means that a large area of habitat is more secure from deforestation due to inaccessibility.
