Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be from common (Burma, Malaysia) to very rare, for example in Yunnan province of China (Lambert and Woodcock 1996).

Trend justification:

The species is tentatively assessed as being in decline due to habitat loss per Tracewski et al. (2016).
