Population justification: The global population size is unknown given recent taxonomic splits.

Trend justification: The species is able to tolerate a considerable level of habitat modification (Bradley and Mennill 2020). Therefore, in the absence of evidence for any declines and substantial threats, the species is tentatively assessed as being stable.
