Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss.
It was formerly classified as a Vulnerable species by the IUCN[1]. But new research has shown it to be not as rare as it was believed. Consequently, it is downlisted to Near Threatened status in 2008[2].
