Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be widespread and common to locally common (del Hoyo et al. 1994). The species is declining owing to habitat loss and degradation and over-hunting for food (del Hoyo et al. 1994).

Trend justification: The species is declining owing to habitat loss and degradation and over-hunting for food (del Hoyo et al. 1994).
