Population justification: The global population is suspected to number 50,000-499,999 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2022). The species is described as 'fairly common' (Stotz et al. 1996).

Trend justification: The population trend has not been investigated. Tree cover loss within the range is negligible (1% over ten years; Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Consequently, in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats, the population is suspected to be stable.
