Habitat:
Inhabits primary and old secondary forest, chiefly in the highlands from 400-1,500m (Gibbs et al. 2001, Allen 2020, Baptista et al. 2020). The species is most often seen in the canopy, and may form mixed flocks (Gibbs et al. 2001, Allen 2020, Baptista et al. 2020). There is no available information on its movements or diet, but the species is likely to be at least semi-nomadic, and inter-island movement is possible (Allen 2020, Baptista et al. 2020).
Range:
Endemic to the Philippines, where this species occurs on most of the major islands, including Luzon, Catanduanes, Mindoro, Sibuyan, Panay, Negros, Mindanao, Samar, Bilaran, Dinagat, Basilan, and the Tawitawi islands (BirdLife International 2001, Gibbs et al. 2001, Baptista et al. 2020), Tablas and Siargo (Allen 2020, eBird 2024), Cebu (Paguntalan and Jakosalem 2008, eBird 2024), Bohol (Brooks et al. 1995, eBird 2024), and Camiguin (Balete 2006). The species is generally uncommon to rare across most of its range (Gibbs et al. 2001, Allen 2020).
Conservation:
Conservation Actions Underway
No targeted action is known, but the species occurs in multiple protected areas.Conservation Actions Proposed
Survey to assess population size, distribution, and number of subpopulations, and regularly monitor at certain sites throughout the range to determine population trends. Research is required on all aspects of its life history and ecology, including breeding and diet. Research is also required on the movement and dispersal of the species to help determine the number of subpopulations, and to understand the species' use of degraded habitats and the impact of disturbance on the population. Additionally, research and monitoring are required to understand the trends in the hunting and trade of the species, and the response of the population to these trends. Protect key habitat and prevent the further degradation of protected areas. Where possible, control hunting, perhaps using awareness campaigns. Improve compliance and enforcement to control illegal logging and hunting of the species at the national and sub-national levels.
