This forest-associated species is listed as Near Threatened because it is assumed to experience moderately rapid declines owing to the extensive loss of lowland forests from large areas of South-East Asia. Cyornis turcosus is known from the Sundaic lowlands, occurring in peninsular Thailand; Sabah, Sarawak and peninsular Malaysia; Kalimantan and Sumatra, Indonesia, and Brunei.
