Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be uncommon (Boles 2016). This population is estimated to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat degradation due to livestock and introduced herbivores (del Hoyo et al. 2007).

Trend justification: This population is estimated to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat degradation due to livestock and introduced herbivores (del Hoyo et al. 2007).
