Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as locally quite common in India and uncommon and very localised in Sri Lanka (del Hoyo et al. 2006). The population is suspected to be in decline owing to limited human pressure on the species's habitats (del Hoyo et al. 2006).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to limited human pressure on the species's habitats (del Hoyo et al. 2006).
