Population justification: The global population is suspected to number 500,000-4,999,999 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2022). The species is described as 'fairly common' (Stotz et al. 1996).

Trend justification: Deforestation is feared to be causing local extinctions of this species (del Hoyo et al. 2004). Within the range, tree cover is lost at a rate of 4% over ten years (Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Assuming that population declines are roughly equivalent to the rate of tree cover loss, they are here tentatively placed in the band 1-9% over ten years.
