Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as common (Stotz et al. 1996, Kirwan et al. 2019, Rising 2020).

Trend justification:

The population trend has not been investigated, but the potential threat to the species is the logging and fragmentation of forests within the range. Tree cover loss within the range is very low (3% over ten years; Global Forest Watch 2023, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Apart from forests, the species is also found in plantations and along forest edge (Kirwan et al. 2019, Rising 2020); consequently, the current rate of tree cover loss may not be affecting the population. Therefore, in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats, the population is suspected to be stable.
