Justification of Red List category
Although this species may have a small 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 may be moderately small to large, 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 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.
