Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'uncommon and patchily distributed' (Stotz et al. 1996).

Trend justification: This species's population is suspected to be in decline owing to drainage and intensive grazing in the north of its range (del Hoyo et al. 2004).
