Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as one of the commonest birds on Principe (Fry and Keith 2004).
Trend justification: The species is tolerant of degradation and extensively uses agricultural habitats (Dallimer et al. 2012), therefore it is tentatively suspected to be increasing.
