Justification of Red List category
This species has a very large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km² combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be increasing, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.

Population justification
The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'common' (Stotz et al. 1996). It is widespread and commonly encountered (per eBird 2023), thus the population is unlikely to be small.

Trend justification
The species occurs in a variety of habitats, including in modified and disturbed areas, and is thought to expand into deforested areas (Hilty 2020). The population appears to be increasing (Hilty 2020).

The species occurs from Panama through Colombia and Ecuador to extreme northern Peru.

It inhabits forest borders, thickets and shrubs, secondary growth, shrubby pastures, gardens and plantations (Hilty 2020).
