Population justification: The global population is estimated to number 500,000-4,999,999 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019).
Trend justification: The species is undergoing a moderate decline (Partners in Flight 2019). Despite its tolerance of degraded and man-made habitats, it is affected by hunting pressure, human interference and habitat loss (del Hoyo et al. 2002).
