Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be erratic and occasionally locally quite common (Flegg and Madge 1995). This population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat loss and degradation (del Hoyo et al. 2007).

Trend justification: This population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat loss and degradation (del Hoyo et al. 2007).
