Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as abundant to common, although uncommon in the Imatong mountains in south-eastern Sudan (del Hoyo et al. 2007).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any current declines or substantial threats.
