Population justification: The population density was found to vary by habitat and altitude, with densities being highest in forests at 1,000-1,500 m (Botero-Delgadillo et al. 2015). Based on density estimates, the population size was calculated at 9,300-13,100 mature individuals, though the true population size may be closer to the lower end of the estimate (Botero-Delgadillo et al. 2015, E. Botero-Delgadillo in litt. 2020, Fundación ProAves in litt. 2020).

Trend justification: The species is undergoing a population decline as suitable habitat within its range are disappearing. Over 60% of the original vegetation within the range has already been lost in the past. Recently, deforestation rates seem to have slowed down, amounting up to 15% per decade between 2001 and 2010 (Renjifo et al. 2016, see also Global Forest Watch 2020). Taking the impacts of habitat loss and fragmentation into account, the species has been projected to decline by 20-29% over the next ten years (Renjifo et al. 2016).
