Population justification: The population is estimated to number 2,500-9,999 mature individuals, based on a detailed analysis in BirdLife International (2001) who concluded that this species may have a small total population, i.e. fewer than 10,000 individuals. This estimate equates to 3,750-14,999 individuals, rounded here to 3,500-15,000 individuals.
Trend justification: Despite a lack of recent data on the status of the population, moderate and on-going declines are suspected, owing to the rate of degradation of habitats across the species's range.
