Population justification: The global population is suspected to number 500,000-4,999,999 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2022). The species is described as 'fairly common' (Stotz et al. 1996).
Trend justification: The population trend has not been investigated. Within the range, tree cover is lost at a rate of 7% over three generations (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). The species occurs in a variety of habitats, including forest, secondary forest, clearings, shrubland, as well as the borders of agricultural land and pastures (Joseph 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.
