Population justification: Recent surveys recorded the species at a density of 2-3 birds/km²; estimates based on this data place the population at 500-1,200 individuals (O. Cortes in litt. 2012), roughly equivalent to 330-800 mature individuals.

Trend justification: Habitat loss, degradation and disturbance in its range suggest that the population has undergone a decline (O. Cortes in litt. 2011). The Farallones de Medina and Monterredondo areas have now been partly deforested (P. G. W. Salaman in litt. 1999, 2003; Renjifo et al. 2014), and subsequent searches there have failed to record the species (O. Cortes in litt. 2012).
Over the past three generations (12.2 years), tree cover loss within the range has been very low (1% over three generations; Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein) and as such habitat loss has unlikely been driving a rapid population decline. Tentatively it is suspected that declines over the past three generations did not exceed 5%. However, projections of habitat loss as a consequence of deforestation suggest that between 2015 and 2040 the species may lose 46% of suitable habitat (Negret et al. 2021), which equates to 26% over three generations. Given that the species is strictly dependent on montane forests (Greeney 2020), it is tentatively suspected that population declines are roughly equivalent to the rate of habitat loss. Consequently, the population may be declining by 20-29% over the next three generations.
