Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'uncommon' (Stotz et al. 1996).

Trend justification:

The extensive loss of Brazil’s Atlantic Forests (e.g. Tabarelli et al. 2005, Ribeiro et al. 2009) implies that this species is in decline; however, its tolerance of modified habitats suggests that the decline is not severe. It is therefore suspected to be in moderately rapid decline.
