Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified. The species is described as 'uncommon', though it may be overlooked due to its inconspicuousness (Stotz et al. 1996, Snow and Sharpe 2020).

Trend justification: Due to its sensitivity to forest loss and fragmentation, the species is suspected to be in decline as a consequence of habitat loss. Within the range, tree cover has been lost at a rate of 6% over the past three generations (13 years); since 2016 this has been increasing to a rate equivalent to 9% over three generations (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). In view of the species' low tolerance of forest loss, it is suspected that population declines exceed the rate of tree cover loss; they are here tentatively placed in the band 10-19% over three generations.
