Population justification: The population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as rare, local and patchily distributed (Freile and Restall 2018, Schulenberg and Kirwan 2020).
Assuming that it occurs at a similar density to a congener (H. zosterops in Peru: 5 pairs/km2; Santini et al. 2018), and further assuming that only 25% of forests within the range are occupied to account for its rarity (i.e. 13,500-14,500 km2; Global Forest Watch 2022), the global population may number c. 60,000-70,000 pairs. This equates to 120,000-140,000 mature individuals.
Trend justification: There are no data on the population trend, but based on the species' forest dependence it is suspected to be in decline as a consequence of the loss and fragmentation of its habitat.
Tree cover within the range is lost at a rate of 5% over ten years (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Population declines are therefore likely equally low and localised; they are here tentatively placed in the band 1-9% over ten years.
