Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as locally common in north-east India, although rare in Nagaland; frequent in Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary, India and uncommon in Myanmar and China (del Hoyo et al. 2007).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction and fragmentation.
