Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'uncommon' (Stotz et al. 1996).

Trend justification: The population is suspected to in decline owing to ongoing habitat loss, Recent fires in the north of its range destroyed large areas of suitable habitat (del Hoyo et al. 2002).
