Migratory status	not a migrant	Forest dependency	does not normally occur in forest
Land-mass type	continent	Average mass	-

	Estimate	Data quality
Extent of Occurrence (breeding/resident)	17,700 km2	medium
Severely fragmented?	no	-

	Estimate	Data quality	Derivation	Year of estimate
Population size	20000-49999 mature individuals	good	estimated	2019
Population trend	stable	-	suspected	-
Generation length	2.35 years	-	-	-
Percentage of mature individuals in largest subpopulation	100%	-	-	-

Population justification: Partners in Flight (2019) estimate the population to number fewer than 50,000 mature individuals, thus it is placed in the band 20,000-49,999 mature individuals here.

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
