Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be common to locally common (del Hoyo et al. 2001).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline locally owing to loss of coastal mangroves as well as occasional collisions with power lines and buildings during migration (del Hoyo et al. 2001).
