Population justification: The population size is unknown, but the species is described as locally common or rare (del Hoyo et al. 2006).

Trend justification: This species is suspected to have declined at a moderate rate, owing to forest loss within its range. However, given its preference for secondary growth this rate of decline may have been overestimated.
