Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as uncommon and patchily distributed (Mason and Burns 2020). Due to its disjunct range, it is tentatively assessed as forming at least five subpopulations.
Trend justification: Data on precise population trends are lacking, but this rare and habitat-restricted species is suspected to be in moderate decline owing to the ongoing destruction of Polylepis woodlands throughout its range (Cahill and Matthysen 2007; Mason and Burns 2020).
