Justification of Red List category
Although this species may have a restricted range, it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (extent of occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). Despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size may be moderately small to large, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
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.
