Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as well distributed in good numbers in lowland primary and secondary forests (del Hoyo et al. 1997, Collar and Boesman 2020). There has been no noticeable population decline in the past twenty years (M. Halaouate in litt. 2022).

Trend justification: There are no data on population trends, but the anecdotal frequency of reporting does not appear to have changed since Mayr and Meyer de Schauensee (1939). The species was suspected to have declined owing to habitat loss, but the observed tolerance of degraded forest and use of forest gardens suggests minimal population effect of the recent relatively slow rate of forest cover loss (c.3.8% over the past ten years; Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Anecdotally, no discernible change in abundance has been evident over the past twenty years (M. Halaouate in litt. 2022), hence the current population trend is suspected to be stable.
