Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be generally uncommon to rare (del Hoyo et al. 1996). The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction (del Hoyo et al. 1996).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction (del Hoyo et al. 1996).
