Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be locally common (Coates et al. 1997). The population is suspected to be increasing in line with ongoing deforestation, as this species prefers secondary habitats (del Hoyo et al. 2006).

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be increasing in line with ongoing deforestation, as this species prefers secondary habitats (del Hoyo et al. 2006).
