Population justification: This is a poorly known species and its population size has not been quantified, but it is described as fairly common to common.

Trend justification: In the Brazilian Red List (MMA 2014) the species was predicted to lose 30-59% of its habitat by 2020 due to agriculture, deforestation and hydroelectric dam construction. Pending further information, the rate of ongoing and future declines over 3 generations (c.15 years) are suspected to be at least >30% over 3 generations.
