Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'common' (Stotz et al. 1996). This species thrives in secondary and converted habitats (del Hoyo et al. 2004), and its population is thus suspected to be at least stable.

Trend justification: This species thrives in secondary and converted habitats (del Hoyo et al. 2004), and its population is thus suspected to be at least stable.
