Population justification: The global population is estimated to number 500,000-4,999,999 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019). The species is described as 'fairly common' (Stotz et al. 1996).

Trend justification:

The species is undergoing a small decline (Partners in Flight 2019), which is thought to be cause by low levels of habitat loss within the range (Tracewski et al. 2016).
