According to the IUCN Red List, they are endangered as of 31 August 2020, population trend decreasing. I do hope they proliferate. They should be the one reproducing and spreading, not pesky humans.

They might be residents in my area, but I’ve only seen them once (or I’m just inattentive). Just like the kilyawan I currently don’t have additional footage, making me treasure this more.

Additional resources:

• My YouTube playlist of these guys; perhaps I’ll be able to produce more films of them in the future.
• ebird.org pics and audio
  • Pics and audio from the Philippines

UPDATES:

• 27 Aug 2022: Added IUCN classification.
