Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'uncommon' (Stotz et al. 1996). Tentatively assuming that the species occurs at the same density as a congener (G. varia: 3 mature individuals/km²; Santini et al. 2018) and further assuming that 25% of forested habitat within the range is occupied to account for its rarity (i.e., c. 4,500 km²), the population may number 13,500 mature individuals. To account for uncertainty, it is here placed in the band 10,000-19,999 mature individuals, but an exact population estimate is urgently required.

Trend justification: The species is feared to be in slow decline as a consequence of habitat loss and degradation. Within the range, tree cover is lost at a rate of 2% over three generations (11.7 years; Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). As the species appears to show at least some tolerance of secondary growth (see Schulenberg and Kirwan 2021), population declines are unlikely to be fast; they are here tentatively placed in the band 1-9% over three generations.
