Population justification: The global population is suspected to number 500,000-4,999,999 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2022).

Trend justification: The population trend has not been quantified, but is suspected of being stable as the species may benefit from forest clearance opening up new habitats (Partners in Flight 2022).
