Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'common' (Stotz et al. 1996). The species is not globally threatened and was considered common in 1986. It is likely to still be common in much of its range and its tolerance of a variety of habitats puts it at lower vulnerability to habitat degradation (del Hoyo et al. 1994).
