Population justification: The population size of this species has not been estimated. It is currently suspected of having a small range (although it may yet prove more widespread) where it is common, occurring in flocks of up to 120 (eBird 2022).

Trend justification: There are no trend data available for this species; however, in the absence of ongoing threats known to be impacting it, the population is suspected of being stable. Small-scale ongoing forest loss may in fact benefit this grassland species (R. Hutchinson in litt. 2022).
