Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be common in most of its range (del Hoyo et al. 2002). Sub-species irroratus is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat degradation and fragmentation although it presently remains common (del Hoyo et al. 2002).
Trend justification: Sub-species irroratus is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat degradation and fragmentation although it presently remains common (del Hoyo et al. 2002).
