Population justification: The global population is estimated to number 500,000-4,999,999 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2022). The species is described as 'fairly common but patchily distributed' (Stotz et al. 1996).
Trend justification: The population trend has not been investigated. Tree cover loss within the range is low (<2% over ten years; Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Apart from forests, the species occurs in secondary growth, edges and gardens, and shows some tolerance to habitat degradation and disturbance (Taylor 2020). Therefore, in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats, the population is suspected to be stable.
