Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as fairly common to common (Stotz et al. 1996, Snow 2020).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be declining as a consequence of the loss and degradation of humid forests within the range. Over three generations (11 years) 3% of tree cover is lost within the range (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Under the assumption that population declines are roughly equivalent to the rate of tree cover loss, they are here placed in the band 1-9% over three generations.
