Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'fairly common' (Stotz et al. 1996). In view of its small range, it is conceivable that the population numbers below 10,000 mature individuals; it is here tentatively placed in the band 2,500-9,999 mature individuals.
Based on the spatial spread of records (per eBird 2021) the species likely forms at least two subpopulations.
Trend justification: Due to the species's preference for secondary and bushy vegetation along forest edges, there is no evidence that either population size or habitat availability are currently in decline. Tree cover loss is negligible within the range (1% over ten years; Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). The species is suspected to be stable and not at risk.
