Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'common' (Stotz et al. 1996).
Trend justification:
The species is tentatively assessed as being in decline due to habitat loss (Tracewski et al. 2016). Moreover, increased urbanization and persecution by farmers and plantation workers could cause further population declines if adequate legislation is not put into place within its restricted range on Hispaniola (del Hoyo et al. 2002).
