Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as locally very common to uncommon in India, locally common in Bangladesh and china and generally common in its South-East Asian range (del Hoyo et al. 2007).

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction and fragmentation.
