Population justification: The global population size is unknown given recent taxonomic splits.
Trend justification: The species thrives in converted habitats (del Hoyo et al. 2004); it is therefore considered to be increasing as deforestation is opening up new areas of suitable habitat (see also Partners in Flight 2019). The population in North America has been increasing at a rate of 24% over the past ten years, though this value is non-significant (Pardieck et al. 2018).
