Justification of Red List category
This species, which has been extirpated from several areas and now has a very small and declining range, has been uplisted to Critically Endangered because a model of future deforestation in the Amazon basin predicts that its population will decline extremely rapidly over the next three generations basin as land is cleared for cattle ranching and soy production, facilitated by expansion of the road network.

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 8,000 km²

Country endemic: no
