Population justification: The global population is estimated to number fewer than 50,000 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019); therefore it is here placed in the band 20,000-49,999 mature individuals. The species is described as locally common (del Hoyo et al. 1999).

Trend justification: The species is thought to be stable (Partners in Flight 2019).
