Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as locally fairly common (Stotz et al. 1996, Zimmer and Isler 2020, Silveira et al. 2022). It is frequently observed throughout its range (eBird 2022), and the population is unlikely to be small.

Trend justification: Due to its dependence on bamboo, large-scale die-off events of bamboo may cause natural fluctuations in the population size (Zimmer and Isler 2020). However overall, although exact trend data are lacking, the population is thought to be in decline owing to the continuing loss and degradation of habitats within the range. The species has reportedly suffered local extinctions (CSS Brazil and CEMAVE-ICMBio 2020).
Over ten years, 7% of tree cover is lost within the range (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). As the species is restricted to forests with dense understory of bamboo and vine tangles, population declines may exceed the rate of tree cover loss. Tentatively, declines are here placed in the band 10-19% over ten years.
