Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species was reported to be common, prior to being split (Flegg and Madge 1995, Coates et al. 1997, Coates 1990, Doughty et al. 1999).

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
