Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be uncommon or rare (Urban et al. 1997).
Trend justification: The population is unlikely to be declining at the present time since it is able to adapt well to degraded habitats including plantations and farmland (Bobo et al. in prep.).
