Justification of Red List category
This species has a very large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (extent of occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size is very large, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
Population justification
The global population is suspected to number 50,000-499,999 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2022). The species is described as common to very common (Collar 2020).
Trend justification
The population is undergoing a moderate decline (Partners in Flight 2022). Tree cover within the range is lost at a rate of 4% over three generations (Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Apart from forests the species occupies a variety of habitats, including woodland, scrub and brushland, secondary growth and plantations (Collar 2020) and as such, low levels of tree cover loss may not impact on the population size. In the absence of evidence of substantial threats, the population is suspected to be stable.
