Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as fairly common and locally frequent (Stotz et al. 1996; Restall et al. 2006).

Trend justification: This population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines. Tree cover loss within the range has been minimal, amounting to 1% over the past ten years (Global Forest Watch 2021).
