Population justification: There are estimated to be >86,000 individuals (del Hoyo et al. 2006), roughly equivalent to >57,000 mature individuals, so the population is placed in the band 50,000-99,999 mature individuals.

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction.
