Population justification: The population size has not been estimated, but the species is described as locally common (Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Agua 2009, C. Yamashita in litt. 2022). Despite a lack of quantitative data the population is suspected to number 2,500-9,999 mature individuals, though this requires confirmation. The subpopulation structure has not been assessed, but based on observational records (per eBird 2021) it is assumed that the species forms several small subpopulations.

Trend justification: The species is persecuted as a crop pest and occasionally trapped for the cage-bird trade (Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Agua 2009). The impact on the population size has not been investigated, but it is suspected that the population is in decline.
