Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be common throughout most of its range (del Hoyo et al. 1999).

Trend justification: The population trend has not been quantified directly. A remote sensing study found that tree cover within the range has been lost at a rate of up to 21% over three generations (11.5 years; Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). As the species also occupies edge habitat, plantations and open woodland (Wells and Kirwan 2020), population declines are likely lower than the rate of tree cover loss. Nevertheless, hunting may contribute to local declines (Wells and Kirwan 2020). Therefore, the rate of population decline is here tentatively placed in the band 10-19% over three generations.
