Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as relatively uncommon (del Hoyo et al. 2005). This species is considered to have a medium dependency on forest habitat, and tree cover is estimated to have declined by only 0.9% within its mapped range over the past 10 years (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). In the absence of other threats, the population trend is thought to be stable.
