Population justification: Partners in Flight estimated the population to number fewer than 50,000 mature individuals (A. Panjabi in litt. 2008, 2017); thus it is placed in the band 20,000-49,999 mature individuals here.
Trend justification: The species is undergoing a large, significant decline (Partners in Flight 2019), which is thought to be caused by low levels of habitat loss within the range (Tracewski et al. 2016).
