Population justification: The population size has not been quantified, but the species is apparently rare, though it may be easily overlooked. It is precautionarily suspected that the global population numbers between 10,000 and 19,999 mature individuals. A precise estimate of the population size is urgently required.

Trend justification: The population trend has not been assessed directly, but the population is thought to be declining in line with rates of habitat loss within its range, which becomes evident in a lack of recent records from the Venezuelan part of the range (Sharpe 2015, Greeney 2020). Over the past ten years, 3% of tree cover has been lost within the range (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Therefore, even though the species is strictly dependent on forests, it is unlikely that population declines exceeded 10% over this period. Projections of future deforestation in the Colombian part of the range however suggest that habitat loss may increase in the near future, and that suitable habitat might decline by 27% between 2015 and 2040 (Negret et al. 2021). This equates to a rate of habitat loss of 12% over the next ten years. Consequently, population declines may likewise accelerate in the future; they are therefore here placed in the band 1-19% over the next ten years.
