Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be locally common (Flegg and Madge 1995).
Trend justification: This population is tentatively assessed as being in decline owing to ongoing habitat loss per Tracewski et al. (2016) and habitat degradation (del Hoyo et al. 2007).
