Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be widespread and generally common (del Hoyo et al. 1999).

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction and degradation through over-grazing (del Hoyo et al. 1999).
