Population justification: The population size is unknown, but the species is described as common to locally very common (del Hoyo et al. 2006).

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to the on-going destruction and degradation of the species's forest habitat and the effects of introduced species. The likely rate of decline has not been estimated.
