Population justification: The global population is estimated to number fewer than 50,000 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019); thus it is here placed in the band 20,000-49,999 mature individuals. The species is described as 'uncommon' (Stotz et al. 1996).

Trend justification:

The population is undergoing a moderate decline (Partners in Flight 2019), which is likely caused by low levels of habitat loss within the range (del Hoyo et al. 2004, Tracewski et al. 2016).
