Justification of Red List category
This species has a very large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (extent of occurrence <20,000 km² combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). Despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.

Population justification
The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as usually scarce to locally common (Gibbs et al. 2001, Eaton et al. 2021).

Trend justification
The population size of this species is precautionarily suspected of declining due to ongoing forest loss in its range (Global Forest Watch 2022, based on data from Hansen et al. [2013] and methods disclosed therein). However, the rate of forest cover loss is slow (<2% in the three generations to 2021; per Global forest Watch [2022]) and it is adaptable to wooded cultivation in some parts of its range (eBird 2022). Consequently the rate of decline is expected to be slow.
