Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'common' (Stotz et al. 1996). The population is suspected to be increasing as ongoing habitat degradation is creating new areas of suitable habitat.
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be increasing as ongoing habitat degradation is creating new areas of suitable habitat.
