Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be normally scarce or absent from settled areas but locally quite common elsewhere (Flegg and Madge 1995). The population is estimated to be declining following declines owing to agricultural and urban development (del Hoyo et al. 2007).

Trend justification: The population is estimated to be declining following declines owing to agricultural and urban development (del Hoyo et al. 2007).
