Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified given recent taxonomic splits. Prior to being split, the species has been described as 'fairly common but patchily distributed' (Stotz et al. 1996).
Trend justification:
The population trend has not been investigated. Tree cover within the range is lost at a rate of 9% over ten years (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). The species is forest-dependent (Greeney et al. 2022); therefore population declines may be steeper than the rate of tree cover loss suggests. Tentatively, population declines are here placed in the band 10-19% over ten years.
