Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified. This species is considered to have a medium dependency on forest habitat, and tree cover is estimated to have declined by 3.8% within its mapped range over the past 10 years (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Because this species is highly tolerant of forest modification, this threat is not thought to be driving population declines and the trend is therefore considered to be stable.
