Population justification: The population is estimated to number 2,500-9,999 individuals based on an assessment of known records, descriptions of abundance and range size. This is consistent with recorded population density estimates for congeners or close relatives with a similar body size, and the fact that only a proportion of the estimated Extent of Occurrence is likely to be occupied. This estimate is equivalent to 1,667-6,666 mature individuals, rounded here to 1,500-7,000 mature individuals.

Trend justification: The species is undergoing a decline, which is mainly caused by trapping for the local cage-bird trade and habitat degradation. Over the last 50 years, the species has declined by 20% (M. Cañizares in litt. 2020), which equates to a decline of 7% over three generations (16.2 years).
