Population justification: Prior to being split from Cyanoloxia cyanoides, Partners in Flight estimate the total population to number 500,000-4,999,999 individuals (A. Panjabi in litt. 2008).

Trend justification: Prior to being split from Cyanoloxia cyanoides, this species was suspected to lose 15-16.9% of suitable habitat within its distribution over three generations (13 years) based on a model of Amazonian deforestation (Soares-Filho et al. 2006, Bird et al. 2011). It is therefore suspected to decline by <25% over three generations.
