Population justification: The population size is preliminarily estimated to fall into the band 10,000-19,999 individuals. This equates to 6,667-13,333 mature individuals, rounded here to 6,000-15,000 mature individuals. The species is described as uncommon (Fjeldså and Krabbe 1990, Ridgely and Tudor 1994, Clements and Shany 2001).
Trend justification: The population trend has not been estimated directly. The only threat known to the species is the loss and degradation of its habitat. Tree cover loss within the range has been low over ten years (< 2%; Global Forest Watch 2020). Given that the species does not depend on forest, but readily tolerates degraded and converted habitats, the rate of population decline is unlikely to exceed 10% over ten years.
