Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as widespread and generally common suitable habitat (Bishop and van Balen 2023).

Trend justification: The only identified threat to this species is habitat loss and degradation. There has been a slow rate of forest cover loss in the species' range, up to 4% in the three generations to 2022 (data from Global Forest Watch 2023, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein) and this is suspected to be causing broadly equivalent reductions in population size of this species.
