Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be locally fairly common (Flegg and Madge 1995).

Trend justification: This population is estimated to be in decline following local decreases and range contractions probably owing to intensive farming and habitat modification (del Hoyo et al. 2006).
