Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'uncommon' (Stotz et al. 1996). It is unclear whether the population has experienced substantial fluctuations or a marked decline in recent decades (del Hoyo et al. 2004).

Trend justification: It is unclear whether the population has experienced substantial fluctuations or a marked decline in recent decades (del Hoyo et al. 2004).
