Population justification: The global population is suspected to number fewer than 50,000 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2022), therefore it is here placed in the band 20,000-49,999 mature individuals. The species is described as 'uncommon' (Stotz et al. 1996).

Trend justification: The population is undergoing a decline, which is thought to be caused by habitat destruction throughout its range (del Hoyo et al. 2001, Partners in Flight 2022). Tree cover within the range is lost at a rate of up to 6% over three generations (Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). As the species is restricted to forest, population declines may exceed the rate of tree cover loss. Tentatively, they are here placed in the band 1-19% over three generations.
