Population justification: The global population is estimated to number fewer than 50,000 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019), thus it is here placed in the band 20,000-49,999 mature individuals. The species is described as uncommon and local (del Hoyo et al. 2002).

Trend justification: The species is undergoing a moderate decline (Partners in Flight 2019).
