Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, although its breeding range is large and the population size is accordingly not considered likely to be small.

Trend justification: Loss of its forest habitat in the breeding range is minimal (Global Forest Watch 2023, based on data from Hansen et al. [2013] and methods disclosed therein) and although is more extensive in its non-breeding range, here this species occurs in parkland and open forest types (eBird 2023). Consequently, although the species is precautionarily suspected of declining, it is thought to be doing so only very slowly.
