Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as fairly common, although uncommon in Myanmar and China and scarce to uncommon in South-East Asia in the winter (del Hoyo et al. 2005).
Trend justification: The population trend is difficult to determine because of uncertainty over the impacts of habitat modification on population sizes.
