Population justification: While the species has a small range, it is not uncommon in suitable habitat. Including the newly-recorded localities, the species's mapped range covers an area of 1,253 km². Based on the recorded population densities of congeners, and assuming that 11-22% of the range is occupied, the species’s population size is estimated to fall within the band 2,800 – 8,400 individuals, roughly equivalent to 1,800 – 5,600 mature individuals. The national Red List of Colombia estimated the population size as 14,690 individuals (roughly equivalent to 9,800 mature individuals; Renjifo et al. 2014). Therefore, the population size is here placed in the band 1,800-9,999 mature individuals.

Trend justification: There is no data on population trends and no quantified information on rates of habitat loss. It is likely that there is a continuing decline in the extent and quality of habitat due to grazing and burning (Renjifo et al. 2014). However, it is unclear whether the population size is undergoing a continuing decline, and it has been suggested that the population might even be stable (P. Pulgarín and O. Cortes in litt. 2012).
