Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be widespread but seldom common (del Hoyo et al. 2001). The species is suspected to be in decline owing to clearance of streamside habitat (del Hoyo et al. 2001).
Trend justification: The species is suspected to be in decline owing to clearance of streamside habitat (del Hoyo et al. 2001).
