Population justification: The population size has not been estimated, but the species has been described as 'rather common' (del Hoyo et al. 1997) and 'possibly quite rare' (Juniper and Parr 1998).
Trend justification: The population trend is difficult to determine because of uncertainty over the extent and severity of threats to the species.
