Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as fairly common in most of its range, although rare in southern Myanmar and extinct in Singapore (del Hoyo et al. 2005).

Trend justification: The population is estimated to be in decline following the species's local extinction in Singapore owing to habitat loss (del Hoyo et al. 2005).
