分布与栖息地
It is found in tropical moist primary and secondary forest with a large majority up to 1,100 meters above sea level with a few records up to 1.560.<p>IUCN has assessed this bird as Vulnerable with the population estimated to consist of 6,000 to 15,000 mature individuals with it believed to be declining. This species' main threat is habitat loss with wholesale clearance of forest habitats as a result of logging, agricultural conversion, road development and mining activities occurring within the range. It may also suffer from hunting with snares in the Sierra Madre and illicit bird-trapping at Dalton Pass may exert a considerable pressure.<p>It occurs in the protected areas Angat Watershed Forest Reserve, Quezon Protected Landscape, Mount Makiling National Park and Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park however, like most areas in the Philippines, protection is lax and deforestation and hunting persist even in these areas.<p>
