Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as fairly common (del Hoyo et al. 1997). The population is suspected to be increasing as ongoing habitat degradation is creating new areas of suitable habitat.
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be increasing as ongoing habitat degradation is creating new areas of suitable habitat.
