Population justification: The population is estimated to number 1,000-2,499 individuals based on an assessment of known records, descriptions of abundance and range size. This is consistent with recorded population density estimates for congeners or close relatives with a similar body size, and the fact that only a proportion of the estimated Extent of Occurrence is likely to be occupied. This estimate is equivalent to 667-1,666 mature individuals, rounded here to 600-1,700 mature individuals.

Trend justification: The species's population is suspected to be declining in line with the ongoing clearance of montane forest within its range. However, deforestation analysis by Tracewski et al. (2016) showed an annual decline in forest cover within this species’s range to be c.0.1% between 2000 and 2012, which would roughly equate to a decline of 1.1% over three generations (c.12.5 years).
