Migratory status	not a migrant	Forest dependency	high
Land-mass type	continent	Average mass	302 g

	Estimate	Data quality
Extent of Occurrence (breeding/resident)	6,700 km2	medium
Severely fragmented?	no	-

	Estimate	Data quality	Derivation	Year of estimate
Population size	2500-9999 mature individuals	medium	estimated	2014
Population trend	decreasing	poor	inferred	1998-2008
Generation length	3.9 years	-	-	-
Number of subpopulations	2-100	-	-	-
Percentage of mature individuals in largest subpopulation	1-89%	-	-	-

Population justification: Renjifo et al. (2014) estimate the population to be 5,900, of which 2,500 could be mature individuals. The population is here placed in the band 2,500-9,999 mature individuals.

Trend justification: The species is inferred to be declining as a result of habitat loss, hunting and predation by dogs (Renjifo et al. 2014).
