Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as common in suitable forest (del Hoyo et al. 1994).
Trend justification: There are no data on population trends; however, the species is suspected to be undergoing a moderately rapid decline owing to habitat degradation, hunting and egg collecting.
