Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as locally common throughout much of its range (Madge and McGowan 2002). The species is declining owing to habitat loss caused by agricultural encroachment, overgrazing and fires (del Hoyo et al. 1994).

Trend justification: The species is declining owing to habitat loss caused by agricultural encroachment, overgrazing and fires (del Hoyo et al. 1994).
