Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as rare and local in central Nepal, frequent in Bhutan and locally fairly common in India (del Hoyo et al. 2007).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction and fragmentation.
