Population justification: This species appears to be genuinely rare within a restricted range. Hence, its population is provisionally estimated to number c. 10,000-19,999 individuals, but density estimates are needed to inform a more accurate global population estimate. This estimate equates to 6,667-13,333 mature individuals, rounded here to 6,000-15,000 mature individuals.

Trend justification: This species is thought to be declining owing to loss and degradation of forest habitats within its range, particularly at the lower limit of its altitudinal distribution. The rate of decline has not been estimated.
