Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as generally uncommon, although locally common in parts of east Africa and frequent in Ethiopia (del Hoyo et al. 2004). The population is suspected to be increasing owing to agricultural development (del Hoyo et al. 2004).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be increasing owing to agricultural development (del Hoyo et al. 2004).
