Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species was described as 'fairly common but patchily distributed', prior to being split (Stotz et al. 1996). This species spreads into areas following deforestation (del Hoyo et al. 2004), and is therefore suspected to be increasing overall.

Trend justification: This species spreads into areas following deforestation (del Hoyo et al. 2004), and is therefore suspected to be increasing overall.
