Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as generally common to abundant (del Hoyo et al. 2005). The population is suspected to be increasing as the species benefits from deforestation (del Hoyo et al. 2005).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be increasing as the species benefits from deforestation (del Hoyo et al. 2005).
