It is restricted to the Solomon Islands in the southwestern Pacific, where it occupies forest habitats on several islands in the archipelago. This species is assessed as Near Threatened by the IUCN, reflecting concerns over population viability associated with forest loss and its limited island range. Its name alludes to its resemblance to other Accipiter species. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature.
