Justification of Red List category
Although this species may have a restricted range, it is not believed to 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 stable, 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 has been described as common (del Hoyo et al. 1999, Palacios 2022).

Trend justification
There are no data on the population trend. Habitat loss within the range is negligible, with tree cover loss amounting to 1% over the past ten years (Global Forest Watch 2023, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). The species moreover occurs in a variety of forested, open and converted habitats (Palacios 2022). Consequently, in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats, the population is suspected to be stable.

The species occurs in the east Andes of north-central Colombia.

The species occurs in a variety of habitat, including forests, forest edge, open shrubland and gardens (Palacios 2022).
