Population justification: Partners in Flight estimated the population to number fewer than 50,000 mature individuals (A. Panjabi in litt. 2008, 2017), thus it is placed in the band 20,000-49,999 mature individuals here.

Trend justification: The population is thought to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction, but the rate of decline has not been estimated directly. Tracewski et al. (2016) measured the forest loss within the species’s range between 2000 and 2012 as c. 287 km². This roughly equates to a rate of forest loss of 4.0% over three generations (10.8 years) for this species. Belted Flycatcher depends on dense woodland and the only known threat is habitat loss. We can tentatively assume that the population has declined at the same rate as the forest cover, and thus the species is inferred to have undergone a reduction of <10% over the past 10.8 years.
