Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be very rare to uncommon (del Hoyo et al. 2002), while the population in China has been estimated at < c.100 breeding pairs (Brazil 2009).

Trend justification: This species is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat loss, especially loss of bamboo, upon which it appears to be dependant (del Hoyo et al. 2002).
