Population justification: The species is described as 'uncommon' (Stotz et al. 1996). It is estimated to number less than 20,000 pairs, equivalent to 40,000 mature individuals (Nytch et al. 2015). It is here placed in the band 20,000-49,999 mature individuals.

Trend justification: Despite hurricanes Irma and Maria causing major damage to forested habitat in Puerto Rico in 2017, there is no evidence of substantial population declines. The species readily accepts converted habitats, including coffee plantations and urban areas (Schumann and Boesman 2020, Castro-Prieto et al. 2021). Precautionarily, the population is assessed as stable.
