Taxonomic note
Thalurania colombica (del Hoyo and Collar 2014) was previously split as T. colombica and T. fannyi following Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993), and subsequently T. ridgwayi was recognised following AOU (1998).

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: The species's population is thought to be declining slowly, in line with the on-going clearance of forest for agriculture within its range.
