Population justification: The global population is estimated to number 1,292 individuals (Angulo et al. 2008 per García Bravo 2020), which roughly equates to 860 mature individuals. To account for uncertainty, the population is here placed in the band 250-999 mature individuals. The species is described as 'fairly common' (Stotz et al. 1996).
Based on observational records (per eBird 2021), the species is assumed to form one subpopulation.
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to on-going habitat degradation and conversion within the range (García Bravo 2011, 2020). The rate of decline has not been quantified, but it is tentatively suspected that declines do not exceed 10% over ten years.
