Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified. The species is described as common in suitable habitat.

Trend justification: Data on trends are lacking, and populations are unlikely to have been affected greatly by habitat change as this species is tolerant of secondary habitats. However, extensive logging in some parts of Yamenda suggest that small declines may have occurred. A remote sensing study found a rate of forest loss of 2.5% over 10 years within the species's range (Tracewski et al. 2016).
