Population justification: The global population is suspected to number 500,000-4,999,999 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2022). The species is described as 'uncommon' (Stotz et al. 1996).
Trend justification: The population trend has not been investigated. Tree cover within the range is lost at a rate of 3% over ten years (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). The species is however able to tolerate some degree of disturbance caused by selective logging and forest fragmentation (Stiles et al. 2020). Therefore, in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats, the population is tentatively suspected to be stable.
