Population justification: Partners in Flight estimate the total population to number 5,000,000-50,000,000 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019; see also Panjabi et al. 2019).

Trend justification: The population is undergoing a small decline (Partners in Flight 2019). Nevertheless, even though there has been forest loss within its range (see Tracewski et al. 2016), the species is tolerant of habitat degradation and can occur in a wide variety of habitat types (del Hoyo et al. 1997).
