Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified given recent taxonomic splits. Prior to being split, the species has been described as 'fairly common' (Stotz et al. 1996).

Trend justification: The species is thought to be stable or increasing, as habitat conversion creates more areas of suitable habitat (del Hoyo et al. 2004).
