Percentage of mature individuals in largest subpopulation 100% - - -

Population justification: The population size is preliminarily estimated to fall into the band 10,000-19,999 individuals. This equates to 6,667-13,333 mature individuals, rounded here to 6,000-15,000 mature individuals.

Trend justification: There are no new data on population trends; however, brood parasitism, facilitated by deforestation, is likely to be causing an ongoing decline at a slow to moderate rate.
