Taxonomy

Taxonomic note
Myiopagis caniceps, M. cinerea and M. parambae (del Hoyo and Collar 2016) were previously lumped as M. caniceps following AOU (1998 & supplements), SACC (2005 & updates), Sibley & Monroe (1990, 1993) and Stotz et al. (1996).

Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified given recent taxonomic splits. Prior to being split, the species has been described as 'fairly common but patchily distributed' (Stotz et al. 1996).

Trend justification:

The population trend has not been investigated. Tree cover loss within the range is lost at a rate of 4% over ten years (Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Population declines are therefore likely equally low; they are here tentatively placed in the band 1-9% over ten years.
