Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be fairly common in northern Kenya and northern Somalia, uncommon in most of Ethiopia and rare in Eritrea (del Hoyo et al. 1996). The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
