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, hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size is unknown, but it is not believed to 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 population size of this species has not been estimated but its range spans a vast area wherein it is quite common (eBird 2022).

Trend justification
Forest loss in this species' range is minimal, equivalent to less than 1% in the three generations to 2021 (Global Forest Watch 2022, based on data from Hansen et al. [2013] and methods disclosed therein). Given this species' tolerance of, and perhaps predilection for, degraded habitats, forest cover loss is not currently thought to be causing an ongoing reduction in population size. In the absence of other threats thought capable of causing ongoing declines, the population trend is suspected to be stable.
