Justification
This species is listed as Near Threatened because it has a moderately small range within which it is apparently rare. However, little is currently known about the population size of and threats to this species. Further information may indicate that a review of its status is warranted.

Distribution and populationRhinomyias goodfellowi is endemic to Mindanao,
Philippines, where it is known from six upland localities in the centre of the island: Civolig (near Gingoog City), Daggayan (inland from Gingoog City), Mt Kitanglad, Mt Apo, Lake Sebu and Mt Busa. It was regularly encountered in 1992 and 1993 on Mt Kitanglad, and no fewer than 31 specimens were collected in 22 days of fieldwork in 1993. It appears, therefore, to be reasonably numerous within the confines of its range.
Population justificationThe population size is unknown, but the species is described as uncommon or rare (del Hoyo et al. 2006).
Trend justificationThe population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction.
EcologyThe species occurs in montane dipterocarp and moss forests above 1,000 m. It is usually solitary or in pairs and sits unobtrusively within 10 m of the ground. Breeding birds or fledged juveniles have been recorded between February and April, and in September and October.
ThreatsIt is mainly at risk owing to its apparent rarity and restricted range rather than any direct threats that are known to be impacting the population.
Conservation actions underwayNone are known.
Conservation actions proposedGenerate density estimates to inform a revised population estimate for the species, and assess the potential threats. Effectively protect significant areas of suitable forest at key sites, in both strictly protected areas and community-led multiple use areas.
