Population justification: The global population is estimated to number 500,000-4,999,999 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019).

Trend justification:

The species is tentatively assessed as undergoing a decline, which may be caused by low levels of deforestation within the range (Tracewski et al. 2016, Partners in Flight 2019).
