Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be common in most of its range (del Hoyo et al. 1999).
Trend justification: Although tolerant of habitat modification, the population is nevertheless suspected to be undergoing some declines overall owing to ongoing habitat destruction and fragmentation in parts of its range.
