Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but prior to being split, this species was described as 'fairly common but patchily distributed' (Stotz et al. 1996).
Trend justification: Prior to being split, this species was thought to be increasing in numbers and spreading into artificial habitats (del Hoyo et al. 2004).
