Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as locally fairly common to common (Stotz et al. 1996, Kroodsma et al. 2020).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction and fragmentation. Within the range, 6% of tree cover is lost over ten years (Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). The species inhabits forest borders, woodland and tickets (Kroodsma et al. 2020), therefore population declines are unlikely to exceed 10% over ten years.
