Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be generally rare in China and scarce in northern India and Bhutan (Grimmett et al. 1998, MacKinnon and Phillipps 2000).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
