Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as uncommon to rare (del Hoyo et al. 2001, Collar 2020). However, much of the species' range remains inaccessible and has not been surveyed. Nevertheless, on account of its large distribution, it is likely that the population exceeds 10,000 mature individuals. This, however, requires confirmation.
Trend justification: Tree cover loss within the species' range is minimal at c.1% in the three generations to 2022 (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). The species is however highly dependent on forest cover, with population declines perhaps slightly compounded by localised habitat degradation, and loss of suitable habitat due to invasive plants (B. Rahut in litt. 2020). An exact rate of decline is however difficult to determine.
