Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as fairly common to locally common in Myanmar, north-west Thailand, Laos, and north Vietnam, uncommon in China and scarce in the Himalayas (del Hoyo et al. 2005).
Trend justification:
The species is tentatively assessed as being in decline due to habitat loss per Tracewski et al. (2016) and high hunting pressure.
