Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be not numerous, though in places common in the Southern former USSR, fairly common in northern India and Nepal and uncommon in Bhutan (Grimmett et al) (Flint et al. 1984, Grimmett et al. 1998).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
