Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be nowhere common but more frequent in the north of its range (Flegg and Madge 1995). The population is suspected to be in decline owing to forest clearance for cultivation and grazing (del Hoyo et al. 2007).

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to forest clearance for cultivation and grazing (del Hoyo et al. 2007).
