Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as patchily distributed and as uncommon to locally fairly common (Stotz et al. 1996, Schulenberg 2020).

Trend justification: There are no data on the population trend, but the species is at risk from the loss and degradation of forests in parts of its range.
Tree cover loss within the range is low (4% over ten years; Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Despite the species' dependence of forests, population declines are likely equally low and localised; they are here tentatively placed in the band 1-9% over ten years.
