Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as common in at least parts of its range (del Hoyo et al. 1997).

Trend justification: This species is suspected to lose 18.7-31.8% of suitable habitat within its distribution over three generations (37 years) based on a model of Amazonian deforestation (Soares-Filho et al. 2006, Bird et al. 2011). However, given the species's tolerance of fragmentation/degradation/edge-effects and/or the extent of overall losses, it is suspected to decline by <25% over three generations.
