Range & habitat
Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forest up to 500 meters. It has been assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as a least-concern species but populations are declining due to habitat loss. This species is somewhat tolerant of habitat loss but the complete conversion of forest into palm oil plantations have caused a slow decline in this species.
