Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as common in most of its range (del Hoyo et al. 2006). The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat loss to agricultural expansion (del Hoyo et al. 2006).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat loss to agricultural expansion (del Hoyo et al. 2006).
