Population justification: The species can be locally common, at least in undisturbed and extensive patches of forest (Renjifo et al. 2014).
Field studies found population densities of 15 individuals/km² in Cachalú and 50-100 individuals in Pedro Palo (Renjifo et al. 2014 and references therein). Precautionarily utilising the lower density of 15 individuals/km², and assuming that 50% of suitable habitat within the range is occupied (i.e. 50% of 2,500 km²; per Renjifo et al. 2014), the total population may number 11,250 individuals. This roughly equates to 7,500 mature individuals.

Trend justification: The population is precautionarily suspected to be declining, likely as a consequence of the degradation and fragmentation of remaining forest patches within its range (Renjifo et al. 2014, Macana and Zuluaga-Bonilla 2020). The species has been found to become rarer with increasing isolation and degradation of forest fragments (Renjifo et al. 2014).
Tree cover loss within the range is negligible (1% over ten years; Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein), and therefore any population declines are likely very slow. They are here tentatively placed in the band 1-9% over ten years; but a direct quantification of the trend is urgently required.
