Population justification: The species's population density has been described as 'rather low' (Praveen J. in litt. 2017) and so assuming only a small percentage of its range is suitable for the species, and using low density estimates for congeners may place the population size in the band of 2,500-9,999 mature individuals. The species likely occurs in more than one sub-population, but the largest of these is still likely to contain >1,000 mature individuals.

Trend justification: This population is suspected to be in decline owing to habitat destruction (del Hoyo et al. 2005).
