Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as widespread and plentiful in the south-west and almost absent from the north of its range (del Hoyo et al. 1997). The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
